INTERNET SLANG


Do you use slang on the net?

:) I do. Although not as much and I don't use it in every situation either but it sure easier and really helps especially if it can not be said using traditional language.

I don't know about you but am not familiar with all the slang terms/acronyms/abbreviation but If I know and I use it and you ask me what it means, I surely would be happy to tell you.

I guess every country has their own Internet slang e,g when a friend of mine from Thailand posted her comment on my post and she wrote 555, it got me all confused immediately so I asked her what it means and to my surprise, she said it means hahaha.

While my other online friends from Aljazair and also Turkey- prob other countries around it, would just write hhhhhh for the same meaning.

I have to say, I am much familiar with LOL or like other Indonesian, I would just write wkwkwkwk but its sure fun to know another way to expressing laughter coz I laugh easily in reality and yes mine is loud most of the time too. X_X

So why people use slang? to my curiosity I browsed and I agreed with this quote  "A people  who are prosperous and happy, optimistic and progressive, produce much slang: it is a case of play: they amuse them self with the language" W.Summer, A. Keller, M.Davie (Sociologists), 1927 which I found here

With some people, using slang will have positive consequences, With other, it will be received very negatively. The smart one knows when to use it and when not to.


In this post I want to share list of slang terms, acronyms, abbreviations as used in websites, Internet forum, blogs, sms and chat room I am familiar with but mostly I just do my little research a.k.a I google them. Hihi.

The reason why I post it also because some of my curious friends asking me about the slang I use and why I use it when I talk to them so next time they ask me, I will just give my post link and hope that it will also boost my traffic too. sigh. Well, on peut toujours essayer, n'est pas? *evil grind*
