Okay, I'm bored again.

Have you ever wonder why people tend to say "Luul", or "Roff"? We, in the general public tend to use a lot of short forms and abbreviations, but what do they mean? What does it stand for? How did it get about to becoming such a hit with us? Most of these were born during the era of online chatting, while others have been adopted from our daily lives.

Here's a list of common and well known short forms or abbreviations, or compu-speak as I like to call it (these are based on English-US):
