Ok this came up in chat. A member was not familiar with a lot of the abbreviations most of us use and take for granted. Stuff like LOL=laugh out loud that sort of thing. There are also lots of reptile related abbreviations that not everyone is familiar with. I thought we could put our heads together and make a good list of them all. I will be happy to put it into a word doc or something for future reference. I've seen it on other sites and it is very helpful :)
brb = be right back
afk = away from computer
bbl = be back later
lmao = laughing my @ss off
roflmao = rolling on the floor laughing my @ss off
Those are all that I can remember for now
bbiab = be back in a bit
c u = see you
ne = any
bcc = boa constrictor constrictor
bci = boa constrictor imperator
cb = captive bred
wc = wild caught
i can think of alot with lmao, but i will just wont do that.
Think my brain has a time-out or something, cant think of any thing else
