This article discusses general features of Internet slang. For detailed usages, see List of Internet slang.
Internet slang consists of slang Slang is the non-standard use of words in a language of a particular social group, and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language. It is a type of neologism. Slang can be described as deviating away from standard language use. Slang functions in two ways; the creation of new language and new usage by a process of creative informal use and adaptation, and the creation of a secret language understood only by those within a group intended to understand it.

An internet is a more general term informally used to describe any set of interconnected computer networks that are connected by internetworking.

The Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using a standardized Internet Protocol (IP) and many other protocols.

For the filename extension, see .txt.


txt refers to the English language slang used on mobile phone SMS, although with the prevalence of predictive text input, this is now less common. It is an abbreviated form of English, similar to leet, but without the script kiddie content. Another example of this is AOL speak.

Originally alphabets were written entirely in majuscule (capital) letters which were spaced between well-defined upper and lower bounds. When written quickly with a pen, these tended to rounder and simpler forms, like uncials. It is from these that the first minuscule hands developed, the half-uncials and cursive minuscule, which no longer stay bound between a pair of lines.

The untrained eye often finds Internet slang difficult to interpret This occurs largely because written text lacks the physical context and aural variety which speakers of spoken language convey with intonation Intonation is the variation of tone used when speaking. Intonation and Vocal stress are two main elements of (linguistic) prosody.

Many languages use pitch syntactically, for instance to convey surprise and irony or to change a statement to a question. Such languages are called intonation languages. English is a well-known example. Some languages use intonation to convey meaning. Languages in which the syllables are contrasted by pitch are known as tonal languages. Thai is an example. An intermediate position is occupied by languages with tonal word accent, for instance Norwegian.

All languages use intonation to express emphasis, contrast, emotion, or other such nuances, but not every language uses tone to distinguish lexical meaning. When this occurs, tones are phonemes (discrete speech sounds), just like consonants and vowels, and they are occasionally referred to as tonemes.

Emoticons An emoticon, also called a smiley, is a sequence of printable characters such as :), ^-^, or 🙂 or a small image that is intended to represent a human facial expression and convey an emotion. Emoticons are a form of paralanguage commonly used in email messages, in online bulletin boards, or in chat rooms. The word emoticon is a portmanteau based on emotion and icon.

As with other Internet slang, netizens A Netizen (a portmanteau of Internet and citizen) [also known as a cybercitizen] is a person actively involved in online communities. Netizens use the Internet to engage in activities of the extended social groups of the internetworks (i.e., giving and receiving viewpoints, furnishing information, fostering the Internet as a intellectual and a social resource, and making choices for the self-assembled communities). Generally, a netizen can be any user of the worldwide, unstructured forums of the Internet.

ContextsInternet slang occurs in various means of electronic communication. In order of most to least frequent use:
Text messaging on cell phones involves slang even more heavily abbreviated than Internet slang, due largely to the relatively inefficient text-entry method.
Instant messaging Instant messaging is the act of instantly communicating between two or more people over a network such as the Internet. OverviewInstant messaging requires the use of a client program that hooks up an instant messaging service and differs from e-mail in that conversations are then able to happen in realtime.

Chatrooms, especially those connected to instant messaging, often foster abbreviations and emoticons.
Chatrooms on IRC sometimes use abbreviations, and more frequently lowercase text (for speed) and emoticons. IRC-users often employ emoticons to express sarcasm.
A few Internet forums use Internet slang. This may happen for the sake of speed, as in forums like FaceTheJury; or, on forums where more "proper" grammar prevails, it may give a sarcastic tone to speech, such as FYAD on the Something Awful Forums The Something Awful Forums (usually abbreviated as the SA Forums) are a set of limited-access message boards on the popular humor website Something Awful, with a large userbase (over 60,000, though this includes banned users).

The forums are ranked (as of September 2005) by Big-Boards as the seventh most active forum on the Internet, in spite of a registration fee being charged for access.

OriginsThe vocabulary of Internet slang draws from many different sources — typically environments that placed value on brevity of communication. Some terms, such as FUBAR "SNAFU" is an acronym meaning things are in a mess - as normal. The most commonly accepted rendering is "Situation Normal: All Fucked Up". In modern usage, this rendering is commonly used, as is a "snafu" refering to an otherwise normal situation that suddenly went awry. The acronym is believed to have originated in the US Army during World War II, It was the name of a cartoon U.

Other terms come from more recent forms of communication, such as TTY A teleprinter (teletypewriter, teletype or TTY) is a now largely obsolete electro-mechanical typewriter which can be used to communicate typed messages from point to point through a simple electrical communications channel, often just a pair of wires.

The most modern form of these devices are fully electronic and use a screen instead of a printer. These teletypewriters are still in use by the deaf for typed communications over the telephone, usually called a TDD or TTY. For more information, please see Telecommunications devices for the deaf.

IRC was created by Jarkko Oikarinen (nickname "WiZ") in late August 1988 to replace a program called MUT (MultiUser Talk) on a BBS called OuluBox in Finland. Oikarinen found inspiration in Bitnet Relay Chat which operated on the Bitnet network.

During their heyday (from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s), many BBSes were run as a hobby free of charge by the "SysOp" (system operator), while other BBSes charged their users a subscription fee for access.

The three-letter acronym The TLA (three-letter acronym or three-letter abbreviation) is the most popular type of abbreviation in technical terminology, and is also very common in general language. While three-letter acronym is the older and more frequently cited term, many argue that use of the word acronym is incorrect (see acronym and initialism), and this has led to the increasing use of the word abbreviation as opposed to acronym in expanding the term.

Aside from instant messaging programs another realm full of online languages exists: the Internet gaming world.

Note that the many "true" computer gurus, hackers and coders regard leetspeak as a pathetic trademark of a newbie or of a show-off.

Users sometimes make up Internet abbreviations on the spot, therefore many of them can seem confusing, obscure, whimsical, or even nonsensical. This type of on-the-spot abbreviating leads to such things as: OTP (on the phone) or the less common, OPTD (outside petting the dog). Another feature common to Internet communication involves the truncation and morphing of words to forms that users can type more readily. These may one day creep into common usage and end up in the dictionary. Examples of this include:
addy — "Address" (plural: "addys")
pic — "Picture" ("pics", "pix" or "piccies" for plural)
proggy — "Computer program"
prolly — "Probably" (The Oxford English Dictionary traces this usage back as far as 1962)
siggy — "Signature" (also "sig")

Internet abbreviations evolve and change continually. Online games provide a good place to observe language variation in use.
