Abbrev. AFAIK

Abbreviations--especially on the net....

We all (?) know LOL, YGM, AFAIK, IMO, etc. ...I just learned of LMK (Let Me Know) but just got a fresh one, TTYS...naturally, I made a joke out of it, but what the heck does it mean??

Does this happen to you guys?

SpookyEddy, sounds like a good guess to me...

How about:
TTFN - Ta Ta For Now (Tigger, of Pooh fame)
BTW - By The Way
ROFLMAO/ROTFLMAO/etc - Rolling On (the) Floor, Laughing My A$$ Off
LOL - Laughing Out Loud, Lots Of Laughs

Others? More obscure?

hehe that's what I guessed Eddy. Oh it happens all the time Knothead, you get used to it.
