What does it all mean?

Post by Recoba »

Please forgive a newbie for his ignorance, but what do things like LOL and IMHO mean in peoples posts, I don't want to use them incorrectly. Thanks!

LOL - laugh out loud
IMHO - in my humble opinion

If you wait a few minutes BTW (by the way), some smart-alec will post a link to a list of abbreviations. :D

Cartoon Law III
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
