I don't like smh.
It makes me smh.

I don't like it either, and this one chick on my FB posts it on all her dramatic updates (soooo...all of her updates). And she's a total hater, so So Much Hate always made sense.

Not me, but the story is too funny not to share.

One of my co-workers thought "LOL" meant "lots of love." He was thoroughly confused for a long time about his assistant using "LOL" in e-mails to him all the time.

Wait, what does it mean? 

Another one was FTFY. Another poster (alzi I think) and I both thought it meant Fuck This Fuck You

I thought TAOMAB blog stood for The Adventures of a Mail Order Bride. Which doesn't even follow the acronym. Whoopsie.

[lilybug]

I was making up all kinda of hilarious meanings for WBCIIY before some other lurker finally had the balls to ask about it.

Every. single. time I see this I get the earworm of "we built this city" stuck in my head. My older sister loved that band/album so my wee years were inundated with it.

[chickadee77]

Huh. I thought smh was "smack my head," lol. It seemed to work context-wise!

I had to look up IIRC awhile ago; I just couldn't decipher it on my own!

Me too, so FTR became very confusing
For Amberly - FTW is for the win, FTR is for the record

[bella427]

Exactly! I was always like, "Well, that's a weird reaction!"
