Because a conversation is more difficult to have when typing than a normal conversation, many MSN enthusiasts have made up short combinations of letters that can describe emotions or status quickly and efficiently. Some well known ones are: |

<br>lol : Laugh Out Loud |

<br>rofl : Rolling on floor laughing |
|||
<br>brb : Be right back |

<br>afk : Away from keyboard |

|||
<br>hb : hurry back |
|||
<br>wb : welcome back |
|||
<br>rofl copters : rolling on floor laughing copters (this phrase was made up by hooning teenagers, and actually makes no sense whatsoever, and is a common phrase when mocking MSN Messenger language) |
|||
<br>bf/gf : Boyfriend/Girlfriend |
|||
<br>omg : Oh My God |
|||
<br>wtf : What the F*ck |
|||
<br>lmao : Laughing My *ss Off |
