We went over more of the internet today in class. I was doing the acrostic most of the time because I don't really think there's anything about newsgroups and such that she could possibly teach me. I sort of heard her saying she usually skips the part of the textbook that go over the emotive acronyms because she finds them silly. As a lark she began reading them out loud from the book, and some people would shout back what they meant. So it was,
"L-O-L..."
"Laughing out loud!"
"R-O-F-L..."
"Rolling on the floor laughing!"

And so on. Then she said, "Some of these I've never heard of. V-B-G..."

There was silence so I said, not looking up from my puzzle, "Very big grin."

She said, "You knew that???" and she sounded so surprised that I looked up, and the whole class was sort of grinning at me. So I smiled sheepishly.

Then she went on, "I-M-H-O..."

and again no one said anything so I muttered, "In my humble opinion," before realizing I was doing it, and then I looked up again the whole class was laughing.

So obviously I spend too much time on the internet or something. Well, that's new.

It was amusing though.
