Hey everybody, I'm back with a whole lot more instant messaging (IM) acronyms. They allow us to have fun and save time - at the same time. So whether you're on the run but still need to IM your friend, or you're just plain lazy, these acronyms are for you!

Here are some of my personal favorites -

“AFAIK” – as far as I know

“ASAP” – as soon as possible

“ATM” – at the moment

“B” – back

“BC” – because

“BG” – big grin

“BTA” – but then again

“CFN” – ciao for now

“CID” - consider it done

“FYI” – for your information

“GL” – good luck

“GMTA” – great minds think alike

“GRA” – go right ahead

“HT” – hi there

“IDK” – I don't know

“JK” – just joking

“K” – okay

“L8R” – later

“NBD” – no big deal

There are many more acronyms, but for now, why don't you just IM one of your friends and show off what you've learned!
