What's up with the acronyms Sorors and SFs???
 

Hello Sorors and SFs:

Can someone do me a small favor, can I get a list (perhaps on personal e-mail) of all the acronyms and their meanings. I may be an idiot but it took me like 3 months to figure out what LOL meant. LMAO took me like two. Now I see things like UTORNMEBDKRTOYMGNMDHEO. I am like OKAY, what could that POSSIBLY mean. I mean I could type an entire post in acronyms.

Please help a Soror out here. I am old now so...ya know.

Soror Deltabrat I agree 1913%!!

What are all of these acronyms??

If it wasn't for Soror DirectorDST, I would be totally in the dark! LOL. But I still don't know the meaning of alot of them. I have one more to throw in "AHEM."

By the way, "What does LMAO mean?"

Hello Deltabrat,
I know what you mean when it comes to those acronyms http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif. I always find myself sitting here trying to figure them out http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif. One (and notice I said One http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif)that I am familiar with (thanks to Salience http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif) is ROFL/ROTFL is "Rolling on (the) floor laughing".
Hope this helps, and I will keep checking this thread with hopes of learning more of these acronyms.
Have a good day & God Bless!

DeltaBrat et al...

I used to teach an internet class for seniors and this was one of the questions asked most. I found this link and it's got almost every acronym you can think of! I hope it helps.

Thanks everyone. It's good to know I am not the only one scrathing her head thinking "Huh?" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif when she sees these acronyms.

Thanks Zeta Ace for the address...I hope it helps.

Are most of the acronyms for "laughing" type slogans....it seems that way. CTFU is too much for me, though.

Or can there be like CMEO Crying My Eyes Out.

Ya know?

Maybe I can make up my own and confuse everyone http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

PEACE Sorors and SFs (Oh yeah Sfs took me like three weeks)

Since we're on the subject of teaching.....
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU PUT THE MESSAGE ICONS IN YOUR TYPED RESPONSES?????????

Please help a soror/sisterfriend out!!!!!

I thought that LOL was laughing out loud

Pardon my French...."GDI"=God damned individual.

LMAO @ IHABICNRWTSF - I Hate Abbreviations Because I Can Never Remember What They Stand For [pronounced Eye habbik nerwit siff]!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif That is hilarious!!!

WHOH (With Hands on Hips) (playfully) or something like that. I hope I helped rather than confused you!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Presenting the NEWEST ACRONYM: TTT for all of my acronym deficient peeps.:p

I always thought CTFU was "CUTTING the f-k up", rather than "cracking".

In college, my Omega friends would always say "TRIPLE S-O!!"

Meaning...SSSO = set some sh*t out

ttt
 

I wanted to know what GMAFB meant, so I did a search for this thread. I thought it was longer than this. :confused:

GMAFB is not even on here. :(

LMAO @ you.
