Let’s be honest. We all use acronyms when we’re instant messenging. It makes life easier to talk to a few friends at the same time. Some people use it more often than others. I use it too but only a few repeated ones. Here are several of the most common acronyms that I use when I’m IM-ing with my friends.

1. brb - be right back
2. gtg - got to go
3. asap - as soon as possible
4. cu - see you
5. omg - oh my god
6. wth - what the hell
7. ttyl - talk to you later
8. lol - laugh out loud
