    • CPM = Cost Per 1k(1000) Impressions
    • DP = Digitalpoint
    • DPF= DP forum
    • FS=For Sale
    • LOL = Laughing Out Loud
    • LMAO = ? (still dont know :D )
    • ODP= Open Directory Project
    • PHPLD = PHP link directory
    • PM = Private Message
    • PR = Page Rank (google)
    • PPC= Pay Per Click
    • PP= Paypal
    • WTB = Want To Buy
    • WTS = Want To Sell

    Lol. Too funny.^

    A lot of these are just common sense. A.S.A.P., etc. aren't forum talk. That's irl talk. Ooh, there's one. IRL= In real life.:)

    So what is LOL officially? Laugh out load, or lots of love? I've always used it to mean "laugh out load."

    It's "laugh(ing) out loud". LMAO means "laughing my ass off".
