you can use the site www.acronymfinder.com if you're confused about abbreviations Wink or better, use this one: http://www.acronymattic.com/results.aspx?q=wtf

wtf = with the following/ with this forum
imao = in my arrogant opinion

the rest doesn't say so much to me, but look them up for yourself, they often depend on the context.

greets

no problem either Laughing i found the website little confusing because there are always so many matches and then i have to decide which matches best but it's usually not fitting well either Wink lucky that there aren't so many abbreviations in normal texts - except for the internet forums and chats..
