Netspeak Deciphered
some acronyms and abbreviations...
Help...I don't understand all this Internet lingo!
When reading posts about erotic power exchange on the Internet, taking part in a chatroom or a discussion group, or reading some of the personal ads on various sites you may run into a lot of very specific Internet lingo. While the ones on the list below certainly aren't all of them, they'll give you a good starting point that we can add to later. Like everything else here in your Exchange area, we'd welcome hearing from you with any additional acronynms or three letter abbreviations (TLAs) that belong here.
