n00b-English/English-n00b

[Satsun]

I was thinking about maybe making a "n00b<->English" dictionary, you know to help people understand one and other whee

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could post some commonly used English replies to n00bs, and maybe a few random n00b quotes  

[DarkElf27]

It's a good idea. Don't know how much help I can be, though.  

[Ame Yuki Kaze]

I'd love to help too. The only words I can think of right now are the obvious.

u = you
2 = to, two, too
b = be
fren = friend
mah = my
boi = boy
azn = Asian
sk8r = skater
tlk = talk
l8rz = later

Don't forget the acronyms and initialisms!

lol - laugh out loud/ space-filler
omg - oh my God
brb - Be right back
g2g - Got to go (I have to go)
And a friend of mine once said someone wrote wubu2 to him...He swore it meant 'what have you been up to?', but I find it hard to see how.
I'm a pretty good translator from text speak, if you need one.

I would talk to Chelle and get you some more but I can't be bothered with it.

and no, i'm not literate in n00bish, far from it and proud  

[[-True Illusion-]]

Sounds good to me. I'll use it as a reference when I encounter n00bs. ninja  

[Sachiko13]

i just ask them to translate into human.  

[Artemis Cangee]

I sometimes use the abriviations like 'lol', 'brb', or 'g2g' but you know 'wubu2' is taking it one too far.

Sorry I'm not a good translater from elaberate n00b to english or english to n00b unless I can sit there for awhile trying to figure it out >_<  

[La Diavola]

Wow. Leet came from 'elite'. It's amazing the way social class changes. O.o

Thank you, Wikipedia. <3

wikipedia has a lot of abbreviations that I haven't even heard of  

[anarchist_by_marriage]

I can help translate random n00bspeak.
I used to be one, for God's sake.
Or Satan's.
Or Buddha's.
Who really cares..
ANYWAYS.
I can be of help if you encounter a word that noone understands.
