GTG is "Got to go" where I come from.

Should we teach people STFU and FOAD, or is this a family forum now?

 

[Xtro]

You forgot the golden one mate - FFS.

Yanks always wonder what the hell you are on about...

Oh and some people say GTG when they mean "Got To Go", ie. Mr ub3rl337sn1p0r's mum has just told the wee bairn that he has to go to beddy byes.

My abbreviations are more like - yfc, foad, ffsyfc, gtfotwyc, ayafrysriw, yfccdb, gpom1yfc.

I'll leave ye to figure them out but I think you can guess I ususally use them when I'm not happy .

 

[-Ultimate]

Yup thats why i posted GTG because people kept saying it and i kept saying bye and then they didn't leave

Then i realised it was, for example, people who were driving an enforcer into a galaxy that were saying it.

 

[Will]

Americans are strange.

 

[-Ultimate]

Well like omg talk to the scattercannon cos the helmet aint listening

 

[Xtro]

Hey Will, gmabocaapolyb!!!!

 

[Will]

Since I'm reading a book about the American control of the IMF, WTO and World Bank, I'm a little biased at the moment anyway.

 

[Old_Bean]

My god all those TLA's.
I must go and RTFM.
One comment, surely would be quicker to use "Infil" instead of "Stealther"? Quicker to type for one thing.

 

[-Ultimate]

Aye thats one i forgot,

didn't notice they had stealther down, as i said i just ripped it from www.planetside.com i didn't make it up myself.

LFS - Looking for Squad

Hours of play and I still read this as 'FFS' and wonder why everyone is being so rude.
