Hi, mmmm, I've been struggling with some of these too. LOL - I thought this was 'laugh out loud' too. IMO - is this 'in my opinion'? (what's IME?).

pie · 19/06/2003 12:55

IME - in my experience

oliveoil · 19/06/2003 12:55

lots of love

WideWebWitch · 19/06/2003 12:56

IMO = In My Opinion
LOL = Laugh out Loud but sometimes Lots of Love
IME = In My Experience (although can be something else but can't remember what)
IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
IYSWIM = If You See What I Mean
IYKWIM = If You Know What I Mean
IKWYM = I Know What You Mean
tbh = To Be Honest
atm = At The Moment
HTH = Hope This Helps
TIA = Thanks in Advance

hewlettsdaughter · 19/06/2003 12:58

so maybe lol can be laugh out loud or lots of love, depending on context

glad you thought to ask about this, mmm (i'll get your name right this time)

SamboM · 19/06/2003 12:58

WWW thanks a bunch - sorry, I forgot to say yesterday to you.
I just chose my name because I'm a dithery sort of character who says mmm a lot and hopefully 'yes' afterwards - why did you choose Furball - are you all soft and furry like a pussycat?

Imagine a newly 'coughed up' cats furball - Thats me. No, AAMOF it's one of those words that makes me smile for some reason BION. On another thread someone asked if it was because I had hairy legs! - DNPM. God knows what other visions are conjured up by this word.

HAND!
