Nairaland Comments, So Ambiguous!! by petokey: 4:25pm On Jun 01, 2015 |
Yes!! I think is high time i come out of my shell of ignorance. And i am pretty sure, i am not the only person undergoing this dilema. But lets say i am the bravest among them to have voiced it out. While reading posts and comments on Nairaland, i do come across lots of abbrevations and acronyms that appears very ambiguous for my liking. It sometimes causes a disconnect in comprehending the writer's (poster or commenter) message. Examples include: 1. OP: Lately i came to understand that they are actually referring to a person who creates a post. But what is the origin of the abbreviation OP? 2. WTH: please what does this mean? 3. ROTFL: Haba!, which one is this again? Sometimes i feel like i didn't go to school. 4. Lolss and Lolzz: Even though i happen to know this, i honestly don't know its origin? 5. WTF: Initially i thought this meant 'WaiT First' but as time goes on, it doesn't make meaning in some comments i read, thinking that was the meaning. 6. ATM: This is the latest i am seeing in nairaland now. For God sake, i know ATM to be Automated Teller Machine. But Nlanders has another meaning now 7. BTW: When i was in secondary school, i used it as short form of the word 'BETWEEN' but now it obviously means something else to Nlanders. There are many more, but these are the most commonly used i can remember. Please somebody should keep we the learners up to speed with the meaning of these abbreviations so that we won't always be left behind. Thanks in anticipation of a kind gesture from a good samaritan. 1 Like |
