not everyone knows what these things mean - include your smart-a$$ remarks because they are unavoidable anyway!

in case you don't know what I'm talking about: WTF! and such.

I can imagine what is being said but humor me.

one word : google.

any abbreviation or slang that you don't know, go to google, type it in, and usually the first page that pops up will tell you what it means.

that usually actually works for anything.
