AFAIK
Do you ever get instant messages with words or abbreviations that you dont understand, or the kids text message and you have no idea what they are talking about.
With kids or grandkids you have to know how to text, my grandkids have gotten so bad about using this quick way of writing they they try to get away with it in school.
This is a short list of abbreviation and their meaning:
121:- one to one
ADN: --any day now
AFAIK:-- as far as I know
AFK: --away from keyboard
A/S/L: --age, sex, location
B4: before
B4N: bye for now
BF: boyfriend
BFN: bye for now
BG: big grin
BTA: but then again
BTW: by the way
CID: crying in disgrace
CNP: continued (in my) next post
CP: chat post
CU: see you
CUL:see you later
CYO: see you online
DBAU: doing business as usual
FUD: fear, uncertainty, and doubt
FWIW: for what it's worth
G2G: got to go
G: grin
GA: go ahead
GAL: get a life
GF: girlfriend
GFN: gone for now
GMBO: giggling my butt off
GMTA: great minds think alike
HAGN: have a good night
HDOP: help delete online predators
HHIS: hanging head in shame
IAC: in any case
IANAL: I am not a lawyer
IMNSHO: in my not so humble opinion
This is a short list, go to Cybertipline for more

Reply to: kalki,

That's a really long list!! I don't usually use abbreviations though.
