I have decided to make a thread in which I put all the IM Language Translations here. I do not wish people to rate this, as it is a community thread where you can post an acronym that I forgot. I hope this is useful when someone says something to you over MSN, AIM, Gtalk, etc, you don't know what it means, so you may come look here to see what it is.

That's very true, but you might as well add it.

It's pretty much common sense.

Elfs Tanker that's a useless post/flame. Take this as a warning.
