Abbreviations

[madasaboxerfrogs]

Hi don't know if this has already been covered (I did try searching for it) but could we have a list of common abbreviations like lol, btw etc as I am quite new to forums it takes me a while to work out what some of them mean:confused:
especially when they are dog ones like BSL until someone else asked (I was too shy to ask:o )

Edit: Here's the start to the list. -T (through post 10)

GSD = German shepard dog
LOL - Laughing out loud
BTW- By the way
BSL- Breed Specific Legislation
ROTFLOL- Rolling on the floor laughing out loud
IMHO - In my humble opinion
PMSL - Pee'd myself laughing
DDA - Dangerous Dogs Act
JMO- Just my opinion
BC- Border Collie
APBT- American Pit Bull Terrier
WGSD- White German Shepherd Dog
LMAO- Laughing my A-- off ;)
JRT- Jack Russell Terrier
PT- Parson's Terrier
NILIF Nothing in life is free
BARF Bone and raw food or biologically appropirate raw food
CERF Canine Eye Registration Foundation

I really thought we had something to this effect started, particularly for dog terms, but I can't find it either.

This would make an excellent FAQ if anyone wants to take it on. :)

What does ROLF mean???? I live under a rock lol ;)

[Doberman's]

Rolf- Rolling on the floor

But that is not the right way of using it ... hehehehe It's ROTFLOL- Rolling on the floor laughing out loud.

[Taeric]

I always thought it was ROFL (rolling on the floor laughin) as opposed to ROLF, though there are probably hundreds of 'Net abbreviations I'm not aware of. :)
