Ok for people like me I just know the basics.

Lol= laugh out loud
Lmao= laugh my ass off
Qft= qouted for truth

How about we have the members with more knowledge on this issue participate. One I don't know is pwnd. Let's start there.

Pwnd stands for nothing. It was mispelling of owned. As in "I owned you during that match". Someone on some board, wrote it wrong and it stuck.

WTF = What the ****
FTW = For the win. Regardless of the old school people who think it still means **** the world.

IMO = In my opinion
IMHO = In my honest opinion
IIRC = If I recall correctly

I always considered pwnd to be shorthand for Pawned (As in, "You just got pawned"), rather than a misspelling of owned.

I always pronounced it as Owned with a P. Liked, rhymes with "Boned."

But yes, Fender Bender is always wrong...wait, what are we talking about?

Also, AFK: Away from Keyboard. Used in multiplayer games to denote that, while you'll appear active, you'll be somewhere other than your computer for a moment.

There's only a few I can remember off the top of my head.

J/K = just kidding
BRB = be right back
NM = nevermind
ROFL = roll on the floor laughing
IDK = I don't know
PRON = porn
BTW = by the way
IRL = in real life
NP = no problem
OMG = oh my god
OT = off topic
SOL = **** out of luck
TYVM = thank you very much
IOW = in other words
DFTT = don't feed the trolls

My brain is starting to hurt, so I'll stop there.

In one issue of Game Informer they said pwned meant pistol owned or owned with any sort of side arm?

FTW: F#ck the World (No matter how many times a Newschooler says it's "for the win", they are wrong.) It's F#ck the World!, F#ck the World!, F#ck the World!and in case you missed it, in the words of SLIPKNOT

...ahem...

"F#ck it all!
F#ck this world!
F#ck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong!
Don't exist!
Don't give a sh!t!
Don't ever judge me!"

Other than that, I always thought IMHO was for "In My Humble Opinion."

I'm so exasperated that I have been rendered both inarticulate and unable to come up with a sufficiently witty comeback.

Because the French invented staircase wit, and you'll think of something right about... now. But it's too late. Frenchie. Just give up, you're good at that.
