ARCHIVED: What do BTW, FAQ, FYI, IMHO, RTFM, and other acronyms mean?

Frequently Asked Question(s). When people say "the FAQ", they are generally referring to a list of answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Fixed that for you; often accompanied by a correction

From "elite". This has become a term used to describe the informal communication of Internet gaming. L33t speak is easily identified by the substitution of number and other characters for regular letters; e.g., hackers becomes h4XX0rz.

Looking for group, usually used in MMORPGs

Massive multiplayer online role-playing game (e.g., World of Warcraft or Star Wars Galaxies); sometimes shortened to MMO

From "newbie", meaning a newcomer not yet familiar with the rules

No text; usually in the subject line of a message with no body

Usage of the term "own", as in "I PWNed you!"

Cry more, noob (representation of eyes crying, often found in MMORPGs)

Real life, as opposed to the Internet

Rolling on the floor laughing my butt off

Read the fine manual. This may be interpreted as: "You have asked a question which would best be answered by consulting the manual (or FAQ, or other help files), a copy of which should be in your possession. The question you have asked is clearly answered in the manual and you are wasting time asking people to read it to you." It's good netiquette to mail this type of answer to another user rather than post it in public messages.

Significant other; used to refer to someone's romantic partner
