A lot of these abbreviations come from texting. I think we should be like the French and have a formal and correct language when writing, so that text speak, slang etc etc is used on phones, in conversation, but not elsewhere.

You’ll have to look that one up!
Much too raunchy for this site - exit clutching pearls and smelling salts!

LOL!

Here's a refined interpretation I found on the 'net.

a sexually attractive older woman, typically one who has children. grin

Very occasionally I'm not sure what an abbreviation means but they're usually self explanatory in the context of the post.

I thought NDN meant a non disclosure notice.
Too many of these in a post put me off from reading them, but one or two are useful.

I googled MILF. There is a polite version and a not very polite one. I wouldn't go there...

However DS. DGC, DiL, AFAIC are pretty common across chat rooms.

But please no "like" buttons. I know a chat rom where it ends up like a kind of competition to get lots of "likes" and people can feel really bad of you don't get "likes" or not many. Honestly, they can be corrosive, and can prevent people speaking honestly.
