Many of the terms were brought about as a convenience by users of major telecom systems such as Compuserve, BIX, and American People-Link. The following guide is designed to explain some of these terms and "odd language" used in the mentioned systems and most BBS'es around the world. The terms are not listed in any particular order, so scan the whole guide. [TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS][TS] SLATEZ : A term used by many telecom-proficient users, and a common used favorite among us Toxins. Usually relates to a "goodbye" or "catcha later" phrase. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LATER DAZE, BETTER LAYS : A lame phrase used as a farewell only by complete loser schmoos who couldn't get pussy if their life depended on it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW : Short for "by the way", it can also be used as the modernized variant for 'suck my dick', as "Bite This Whale". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRB : Another three-letter acronym for "Be Right Back", it can also be used as an insult: "Bite Ronnie's Butt", since it is believed it is a curse to bite to hemorrhoidal posterior of former president and ex-actor, Ronald Reagan. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFS : More boring three-letter shit, stands for "Away from screen". Used with a question mark (i.e. AFS?), it is a question: "Anyone for Sex?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GTMA : A rarely-used term meaning "Got to Move Along", as in "Gotta run". Don't use this at the wrong time or it could mean "Gone To Masturbate Again." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOL: Ugh! Stands for "Laughing Out Loud". During family arguments, it can be used as an abbreviation for the Italian insult: "Lick Our Lavatory". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- : Expressions that can not be verbalized and cannot be thoroughly understood without visual and/or audible denotation are often put in greater-than less-than bracket formation. Some of these sorts of "expressions" are noted below: EXPRESSION OFTEN STANDS FOR: ----------------------------------- : "I'm thinking about you and me having sex." : "Ha! I can imagine your fat ass in a bikini!" : "Have sex with you? I'd fuck a rabbit first!" : "Yeah, I'd love all ten inches of you in me." < From Female "Heh heh I've got your cunt now!" < From Male : "Sorry, I'm impotent!" < From Male "Sorry, I've pledged celibacy." : "Too bad your dick's too damned short."
