I've been posting on here for quite a while now, and I've managed to work out what most of the abbreviations mean. However, lately I've been totally flummoxed by a few. Anyone care to explain hth, lmao and any others you think I might not know?

Thanks in advance for not laughing at me. wink.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Eh?

Now that means either that I'm deaf (not) or that I don't know what you are talking about.
(Actually, I think I do have an idea - it's some kind of computer game thing, but I'd rather not know any more. Ignorance is bliss, I assure you.)

Some of the character based emoticons and symbols are quite befuddling sometimes. This is one of the best I've come across but can take ages if you don't know what you're looking for:
