The language of the Internet is chock-full of shortcuts. 
Some, like LOL (Laugh Out Loud) and KISS (Keep it Simple,
Stupid) have gone mainstream, but new online lingo is
always popping up:

AYPI - And You Point Is?

AWGTHTGTTA? - Are We Going to Have to Go Through This Again?

BEG - Big Evil Grin

HHO¹/²K - Ha, Ha, Only half-kidding

TYCLO! - Turn Your Caps Lock Off!

Backup is for wimps! SMART wimps!

Always let the big guy think he's right!

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart
people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.
