What does "BTW" mean?

Wow, I feel silly! Are there any other abbreviations that you can think of? I apparently don't know anything and I am only 28!! Haha! I have seen my friends text "BTW" before, but I always forget to ask. So let's start a list of the most common abbreviations. I need it.

I just learned that "DH" means Dear Husband
I believe "IMO" is "In My Opionion"

Let's see what else is out there...

BTW is by the way... I couldn't figure out DH for the longest time, I though an awful lot of people's husbands were named DH.

BTW means: by the way

There are some others too...


SO: Significant Other
DS: Dear Son
DD: Dear Daughter
GF: Girlfriend
BF: Boyfriend
DH: Dear Husband
DW: Dear Wife

By the way

BTW means by the way
LOL means Laughing out loud
ROFL -rolling on the floor laughing
LMAO - laughing my ..butt off
BRB - be right back
QFT - quoted for truth
IDK - I don't know

I can't think of any more right now, but there are a lot of them! Don't feel embarassed, just ask when you see one you don't know

Thanks for the help!! I am not sure I would have EVER figured those out!!

It took me awhile to figure them out too!!

oh man, and here i thought btw= big tattoo woman.
oh wait that is in the personal adds. sorry

Oh, and BIL=brother-in-law and SIL=sister-in-law. I've never seen MIL or FIL but I suppose they are feasible. In addition to IMO being In My Opinion there is IMHO, my humble opinion. And OP, which seems to be either "original post" (in the thread) or "original poster" (of the thread).

Those are the ones that I remember having a hard time with!

First time I've seen that one.
there's also
ppl = people
bbl = be back later
ttyl = talk to you later
ty = thank you
afk = away from keyboard (gamers should know that one.. )
...:censor::censor::censor: and wth, look those up on your own, they're not so polite.

a couple other less used ones, that honestly look rather silly to me...
srly = seriously
pls = please

other various short hand is used too

dont worry it took me so long to figure out alot of these terms used here like dh and btw Some one else luckily had posted what does dh mean so thats how i found out, and it took me some time but i got btw, and imo, and some others here

PA = parent alert
