Abbreviations in everyday life

[DecentMerson]

hmm... just came across some very interesting abbreviations recently... at first, i did have some hard time trying to guess what they mean...but after asking around, i finally found out what are they....

hope that you guys will share some abbreviations(which u think that others should know but they don't already know) u know...hahaha... sorry for the tongue twister there...

but sometimes, when i come to think about it... why are we so lazy for having such abbreviations which not everyone can understand...

so, i will start to roll the ball.. and pls keep the ball rolling
