Who started these things?

by **DocTrebor** » Thu Sep 04, 2003 4:31 am

You know, I was just sittin around when I thought of the most random thing ever. Who started things like lol, stfu, and brb? Were they one person's lazy creation, or just somethin a lot of people thought of at the same time? Just wondering, you know, at 5:30 in the morning before school. :confused:

You know what I want to know? I don't know what these "words" stand for! Maybe someone can make a dictionary so that blond dumb people like me understand what it REALLY means!!!

[EDIT] Ok, I know what BRB and STFU stands for, but what about LOL, LMAO, etc..
