What does "JQP" mean?

JQP = John Q. Public - another name for the average person.

DH/DS/DD/DW etc - Dear Husband/Daughter/Sister/Wife/whatever

OC - Operant Conditioning

C/T - click/treat

LMBO - Laughing My Butt Off

my brain's gone dead now...will post when I think of more 

Someone started a thread awhile back and everyone listed as many acronyms (sp?) as they could think of....not sure where that thread is now though....

I need to find it. The one that I can not figure out is ROLF or the same thing with the letter "T" in it (where ever it goes) I don't know as I type this because I don't know what it means.

No wonder we can't spell the text messaging world is confirming it.  

ROTFL Roll(ing) on the floor laughing

Are you sure it's not ROFL?  I think that one is "rolling on the floor, laughing."

Joyce

rotfl -- rolling on the floor laughin

rofl - rolling on floor laughing

rotflmao - rolling on the floor lauging my .... derriere .... off

btw -- by the way

brb -- be right back

lol = laughing out loud

Most of these were begun BEFORE texting back in the infant days of chat programs.

TRUE STORY:  my husband and I MET online ... he was in the UK (United Kingdom -- Buckinghamshire specifically) and I was in Flooor-da.  One lovely January day not long after we'd sort of been 'introduced' by a mutual online buddy (who was trying to get David some info about travel in the US) I was on an old (no longer there) chat program with David and suddenly he said:

"brb -- I've got to get my jumper on"

O ...... K ..... (oh my gosh -- what HAVE I got myself into NOW??  ... If he asks ME what *I* am wearing I AM OUTA HERE!!!)  You US ladies all know where MY thots were -- here a jumper is something a girl wears.  Not a man.

He came back and realized I was pretty ... guarded and said something like "Back!   -- couldn't find my old blue jumper"

SILENCE AGAIN on my part.  Oh bro-THER!!!

He said something like "You there?"

"yeah ... I was just ... a bit take aback by your ... clothing choice"

well, it took us a few minutes to unravel THAT one.

 Unbeknownst to ME "Jumper" in the UK is not a girl's sleeveless dress that you wear OVER a blouse!!  Nope .. in the UK "jumper" is SWEATER!!!

Ok -- innocent. phew

Sometimes we get a tad carried away with our shorthand -- so don't forget to laugh, ok??

IMO In My Opinion

IMHO In My Humble Opinion

I concur...nobody uses correct and proper English anymore, especially online.   I try not to use the abbreviations unless I'm in a really big hurry or a quick chat, but you do need to know them to understand what the heck everyone else is trying to say.  :o)
