So after encountering a few newer players who ask 'Excuse me if I'm being an idiot but what does ... mean?', I thought it'd be good to get down all those littles abbreviated terms that are commonly used in the chatbox and on the forums.

Apologies if it's all a bit obvious but us newbies don't like to feel left out!

Just so we can all understand each other

And mostly because I find myself looking over them and making up anything I don't know..


For example.. When people put 'ul' I know at least one person who thought it meant : 'U Loser' 

Yes ok.. when I say, one person. I meant Me. *sigh*



ty: Thank you
tvm: Ta very much
yw: You're welcome
yvw: You're very welcome
ft: Final Table
lol: Laugh out loud/ lots of love
btw: By the way
tbh: To be honest
ul: Unlucky
wd: Well done
nh: Nice hand
n1: Nice one
imo: In my opinion
omg: Oh my god
WTF: What the.. er.... you can probably work this one out in context..

LOL.
Reminds me of a line from The Odd Couple (60s film with Jack Lemmon & Walther Matthau as mis-matched flatmates)

Oscar Madison: I can't take it anymore, Felix, I'm cracking up. Everything you do irritates me. And when you're not here, the things I know you're gonna do when you come in irritate me. You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. "We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!
