Fishin', I cheated and used students in the library (who, with my being faculty, were more than willing to help) and a source called the Urban Dictionary, to check that they weren't fooling me. And they weren't.
As for my associates.. they're wide and varied; but, if you've seen my comments on the sex thread, you'll see that none of them are the types who use those sorts of abbreviations. Apart from M. Amis, who wants to kill me. He'd use them, all right.
And you're absolutely right, Cav... we have the next Tory party packaged in one person!
If I knew what they meant, would I have asked?
and who is saying these things to McG?

Have you ever had a poodle? I've had several and I for one love them and would never have a dog, that wasn't a little poodle. I'm getting a poodle puppy next week. He'll be 8 weeks old!
Miller, I've never had a poodle, but I hear they are nice dogs. We have a very nasty toy poodle in our building, but that may be the exception to the rule. It is a red poodle, and you know what they say about redheads and tempers.
TINSTAAFL (got this from sealpoet - took me awhile to figure it out)
WITFITS is appropriate here as well.

My mini-poodle, the baby, is a black poodle. Seems to be a bit aggressive, but that suits me fine!
ROFLMAO right now this is hilarious.
The first time I saw that on line was a post of quinn1 after I saw her post it a couple of times I did believe she made it up and that it was her very own acronym. Kindly quinn1 clued me in re this on line jingo.
I heard about some random person to-day, who-- before 'falling in love--' asks for an e-mail and, if they have any emoticons or if they overuse abbreviations, they don't go any further due to their 'should being able to express themselves in their own words!'
I don't know how to react to love over due to emoticons.
This gives me an idea for a game. What does this mean:

:wink:
It means 'sado-masochism,' I think...
Hmm, I read it as: Sorry, all okay? You're fun...screw you asswipe! Mind you, you were pretty close there drom.
"Hey babe..."
"Yeah, I can match you."
"Let's have a few drinks."
"Cool. Hey buddy, are you telling me you have no money?"
I may need to start a new thread....
