I will be incorporating these acronyms into my chat vocabulary. Learn them and know what I’m saying when I IM you.
* GI — Google it
* IIOYT — is it on YouTube?
* CMOS — call me on Skype
* JUOC — jacked up on caffeine
* 12OF — twelve-o’clock flasher (refers to someone less than competent with technology, to the extent that every appliance in the house flashes “12:00”)
* SML — send me the link
* RHB — read his/her blog
* KYST — knew you’d say that
* CMT (CMF, CMM, CMB) — check my Twitter (Facebook, Myspace, blog)
* CYE (CYF, CYM, CYB)–check your email (Facebook, Myspace, blog)

Wow.. you’re going to be getting a lot of question marks from me 😛
WDO makes no sense. Why isn’t it WAYDOL? All of the others use each letter. What makes WDO exempt? WTD? [Were they drunk?”>
I ran into FUTAB (feet up, taking a break) on Flickr. Too many acronyms. I choose to write everything out. …except that Latin stuff.
