Is there a list anywhere explaining what all the abbreviations stand for? Some I can guess, others, I have no idea.

No, there is no list, and some of us just make it up as we go along. Few of us mind if you ask what on earth we are jabbering about though, so feel free to look at us like we're crazy and say..."Um...huh?" :)

Here is a thread that covers just about every abbreviation we could think of at the time last month.

*sigh* That's good for agency info...but what about....*really doesn't have time to do this but does it anyway*

LCN or CN - La Cosa Nostra
DAB- Dies Arcanum Brotherhood
OS or OoS- Order of Socrates
GH - Green Hand
ET or Triad - Eastern Triads
COL - Circle of Light

JOC - Judge of Character

I'm sure there are several I'm not even thinking of, but there's a start.

Maybe if Miss Kimberly has questions it would be better for her to post the specific abbreviations then we could help her with those?

Here it goes. What do these mean?
lol
LMAO
These two I can remember off the top of my hat. When I run across others I'll post them.
Thanks for the suggestion to post the abbrev's Autumnsprings!

P.S. -- no laughing at me!

There is a thread in here for general text abreviations that aren't game related.

It is ironic MissKimberly

Lol = laughing out loud
LMAO = laughing my A**(rear end) off

Jul-20-2006 15:06

ROFL = rolling over the floor laughing
IMHO = in my humble opinion
IMAO = in my arrogant opinion

Considering what they mean, I guess it would be hard not to laugh with me! lol always meant Lots of Luck to me and it just never seemed to fit right when I would read that. Boy those will really make reading these much easier.

Thanks to everyone.
