Bingo afficionados have a language of their own, when you combine that with internet abbreviations, it gets pretty confusing.
An online bingo chat room can be very confusing at first. There might be two or three conversations going on at once, and people are throwing acronyms around like you have to pay by the letter.
So here's a list of some of the phrases you might come across.
1TG (2TG) - how many balls that player has to go
AFAIK - As Far As I Know
AFK - Away From Keyboard
BBS - Be Back Soon
BLNT - Better Luck Next Time
BRB - Be Right Back
BTW - By The Way
CYA (L8R)- See Ya (Later) - say it out loud if you don't get it
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
FYI - For Your Information
GG - Good Game
GL (A / E) - Good Luck (All / Everyone)
GM - Good Morning
GN - Good Night
GTG - Got to Go
GTSY - Good To See You
HB - Hurry Back
IC - I see
IRL - In Real Life
JK - Just Kidding
LMAO - Laughing My Ass Off
LOL - Laughing Out Loud
Lofting - Talking in Private Chat (used to be called the loft I think)
LTNS - Long Time No See
NP - No Problem
OIC - Oh I see
OMG - Oh My "Goodness"
PM - Private Message
PPL - People
QT - Cutie
ROFL - Rolling On the Floor Laughing
SAC - Sorry All Close (what the winner sometimes says to be nice)
SRY - Sorry
TTYL - Talk To You Later
TY(VM) - Thank You (Very Much)
WB - Welcome Back
WTG - Way To Go
Y(V)W - You're (Very) Welcome
Then there's the "emoticons" that people use.
:) Smile
;) Wink
:P Sticking tongue out
:( Sad face
(((Name))) = Hugs for Name
These are the three main ones, but there are dozens of other ones, some of which have to be seen to be believed. I hope this helped - if you're not sure, ask, people usually love explaining things.
