Internet chat abreviations

Ever sat in a chat room on yahoo or facebook or twitter or msn and someone types 'BRB' or 'ROFLMAO' and you've looked blankly at the screen? Well I have! Fortunately my wife is more versed with the anagrammical way in which messages are conveyed through chat rooms. I hope the following definitions help any readers to better understand what they are reading! (Included are some common anagrams that have been around for some time now, and not just on the internet):

A/S/L or ASL = age sex location
ASAP = as soon as possible
B4 = before
BBS = be back soon
BF = boyfriend
BFN = bye for now
BRB = be right back
BTW = by the way
CYA = see you
CRAFT = can't remember a f@#king thing
DH = dear husband
DW = dear wife
FB = facebook
FML = f#@k my life
FUBAR = f@#ked up beyond any repair/recognition
FYI = for your information
GF = girlfriend
HB = hurry back
HTH = hope this helps
LOL
   1 = lots of laughs
   2 = laughing out loud
   3 = lots of love
LMAO = laughing my ass off
NE1 = anyone
NFW = no f@#king way
NM = nothing much
NP = no problem
NW = no worries
OMG = oh my god
PITA = pain in the ass
PLZ = please
PPL = people
R = are
ROFL = rolling on the floor laughing
ROFLMAO = rolling on the floor laughing my ass off
ROFLMAOPIMP = rolling on the floor laughing & pissing in my pants
RU = are you
SNAFU = situation normal all f@#ked up
THX = thanks
TMI = too much information
TTFN = ta-ta for now
TY= thankyou
U = you
WB = welcome back
WBU = what about you
WTF = what the f#@k
WTG = way to go
WT? = what the ....?
YW = you're welcome

Hope this clarifies things a little or should I say:

HTH and BFN but BBS PLZ and THX for viewing.
