LOL!!! WTH R U Babbling Abt?

So you've been online for years now. You've explored many parts of the world wide web. You know how to tell the difference between URL and email address. You know what to do when someone tells you "my blog is at owl-order.blogspot.com". You know where to view videos. And you laugh at people who still uses Internet Explorer.

All these years of experience have been reflected on your uncanny ability to read internet abbreviations. Strange letters like LOL, WTH, BB, BRB, GTG, WB, AFK, Sry and NP now make perfect sense to you.

Or do they? Let's see if these do.

1. UG2BK
2. GBTW
3. NMP
4. PIR (you have to know this, extremely useful for teenagers)
5. PAW
6. 99
7. GFTD
8. FYEO
9. BI5
10. DEGT
11. BIL
12. PCM
13. IMS (kinda useless, IMO. Don't tell me you don't know what IMO is.)
14. TOY
15. KUTGW
16. CID
17. FWIW
18. HAND
19. IAT
20. NRN
