A question for the folks

[ericcoleman]

What is your favorite text/internet abbreviation (or abbreviations)?

What is your least favorite?

And I'm not asking for your opinion on such things in general ... I'm looking for specific text-speech and what they mean

I'm fond of "OMG WTF BBQ" as a sarcastic expression of mock shock and awe.

when used in very particular circumstances (responding to text or image someone has posted in hopes that someone can explain whatever unfathomable oddity it is representing), I am amused by "LOL wut?"

Generally, anything that makes a short word even shorter or otherwise represents pure laziness (U for you, etc.) causes me to think less of the person sending the text. That said, I have occasionally sent an extremely brief or hasty response or time-critical question via text, in which I used this type of shortcut. If I'm doing that, it's probably because I'm doing something else that requires enough of my attention (e.g. driving) that I really shouldn't be texting at all, so I'm looking to minimize my effort for safety reasons.
