The abbreviations on this site

Post by _TygerFang »

(sorry if this is in the wrong forum)

It would be really helpful if someone could tell me what all the abbreviations on this site means. Ever since I've gotten here I've been trying to guess. :-)

Like what?

Some things you probably already know (LOL, LMAO, etc) but I guess you gotta list a few cause there are alot of shortcuts people take on these boards. Even then definitions change. A common one on these LDS message boards is "TBM".

But what does TBM mean? True-Blue-Mormon? True-Believing-Mormon? Totally-Believing-Mormon? Well people use them to mean different things.

oh yeah, I didn't mean basic internet slang. I just meant all the different abbreviations for different refrences people are making in their posts (like the ones that refer to different organazations, Mormon terms, or web sites)

Looks like my question is pretty well answered anyways.
