It got me thinking about the various abbreviations that singaporeans have devised in using in their everyday conversations. Be it in typing messages on mobile phones or everyday lingo, its a unique and integral part of our lives.

I sat down and came up with the following words...

Some common ones like:

tt- that

gr8- great

lol- laugh out loud

kiv- keep in view

lmao- laughing my ass off

rofl- rolling on floor laughing

imho- in my humble opinion

To the more complex or uncommon:

ote- one time event

ttyl- talk to you later

npov- neutral point of view

And even some obscenities:

knn- kiss night night

lmao, knn, its not really an obscenity...

Just to unwind my mind while idling....

Fyi, this came to my mind when i was revising for an upcoming test.

lol.

My list is not exhaustive and welcomes any additional words anytime...
