Top ten chat slangs

Chat slangs or short form of some words which we use while chatting are funny and mostly based on popular usage. There are symbols which can convey any emotions like :) ( smile) etc or some short form words to help reduce time on sending long text message. Same things are used in sms also. Below I found during my internet chat time the common words used.


1) ASL ( AGE,SEX, LOCATION)
The very first thing I saw was this. People you met via chat rooms or through any social sites, would first ask this question. It is asked to know who the person on other hand is and its advisable never to disclose real facts to strangers like this.

2) BRB ( BE RIGHT BACK)
I am sure many people still do while on chats. It means while chatting if a person has to get up for few minutes or is busy then BRB is used to convey to other person that he or she would return back soon.

3) ASAP (AS SOON AS POSSIBLE)
It shows the urgency  for the work done and even in mails or sms we end up the message by saying Please reply ASAP.

4) ILY ( I LOVE YOU)
Most common used between friends and lovers or showing affection towards other person.

5) XOXO ( HUGS & KISSES)
This had me in splits and I was wondering where does hug and kiss start in this form. It is used along with ILY. But not to be used in any formal relations.

6) MYOB (MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS)
Hmm bit harsh I would think but it generally means not to interfere. Usually used in middle of sentence to explain-- Please MYOB.

7) SOS ( SOMEONE OVER SHOULDER)
I used to think its used in emergency like save our ship till I came to know it also is used to stop private conversation when someone is around. Very interesting. Don't you think so???

8) OMG ( OH MY GOD)
Oh my god this is so widely used now a days. It is used to express surprise, shock or fear. Awesome, I would say to OMG.

9) TTYL ( TALK TO YOU LATER)
It is used to end conversation when we have to leave mid way or something comes up and we can say talk to you later in short form.

10) LOL ( LAUGH OUT LOUD)
Finally, the most loved short form. Laugh out loud to something funny, hilarious and amusing. It can also be used in sarcastic way.

Beside these, there are Rofl ( rolling on the floor laughing), cya ( see you),Fyi ( for your information). Now TTYL. Keep on Lol-ling.. Have a nice day.
