LOL＝Laughing out loud
日本語に訳すると、笑ｗｗｗみたい。
OMG＝Oh my god
訳することはできないけど、いろいろな場合で使われます：
驚いた
困った
がっかりした
いらいらされた
OMFG＝Oh my fucking god
前と一緒ですね。OMGより強いです。
ROFL＝Rolling on the Floor Laughing
これも笑の意味と一緒です。
WTF＝What the Fuck
変な写真や話をFacebookとかで見たら、WTFを使っていいです。
IMHO＝In my humble opinion
IMO=In my opinion
両方は「私にとって」か「私の意見は」の意味です。
ほかの知りたいのがあったら是非聞いてください！

上に挙がった例のうち、いくつかはネットやブログの出現するよりもずっと前から使われていて、古い辞書にもちゃんと載っている略記ですね。たとえば、
FYI = for your information
a.k.a. = also known as
ASAP = as soon as possible
など。
これらに似たつぎの略記もむかしからあるもので、Facebook や Twitter の普及とは関係ありません。
r.s.v.p. = repondez s'il vous plait.
TGIF = Thank God it's Friday
MIA = missing in action
POW = prisoner of war
D.O.A. = dead on arrival
s.o.b. = son of a bitch

TGIF = Thank God it's Friday
MIA = missing in action
POW = prisoner of war
D.O.A. = dead on arrival
s.o.b. = son of a bitch
hth = hope this helps / happy to help (usually sarcastic)
w/ = abbreviation for 'with'
p = abbreviation for 'pretty' (as in pretty good, &c.)
dta = death to america
tl;dr = too long; didn't read (almost everything on the internet deserves this)
d/c = don't care
w/e = whatever
also not internet derived but everyone learning English should learn i.e., e.g., viz., and cf.
especially viz

I'm a native speaker as well, but other than 'p' (the alternate is 'v' for 'very' which is in fairly heavy use) and 'dta' I've run across the rest
I've seen 'viz' but rarely, whereas 'cf', 'i.e.', and 'e.g' are fairly common.
To answer your question, tomoki: 'viz' differs in usage to the others.
Where 'ie' and 'eg' are both abbreviations used to introduce examples, but 'viz' is essentially "that is to say"or "to wit" so it could not be used interchangeably with either
(for more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viz)
Some other ones which have shown up over the last couple years, coined by Dan Savage in his advice column "Savage Love", are:
GGG (good, giving, game: being a partner willing to indulge their lover's interests) and
DTMFA (dump the motherfucker already)

Many thanks indeed for your response to my query in 36. tomoki y. which was originally addressed to 35. ダレンさん, concerning the differences between viz. and i.e. Whereas I can totally understand what you explain, I have come across with another entry in Wikipedia, which goes as follows:
-----
Latin: id est (i.e.)
Translation: that is
Notes:
"That is (to say)" in the sense of "that means" and "which means", or "in other words", or sometimes "in this case", depending on the context; may be followed by a comma, or not, depending on style (American English and British English respectively). It is often misinterpreted as "in example". In this situation, e.g. should be used instead.
Source: List of Latin phrases: I - Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I.e.#id_est

In the light of the above explanation, and back to my original question, I still feel like that i.e. and viz. have basically the same meaning and that the latter tends to be used in less formal settings than the former. What do you think? Or anyone else? Sorry my question has little to do with colloquialism or slang, for which this community was created, and more to do with abbreviation usage in writing.

Fair enough; as you can see I made the same mistake, conflating ie and eg, as I've always seen them used interchangeably.
Some of the expansions of "viz", referenced by the wikipedia article, used vocabulary which I have only seen in legal contexts or older English. Specifically, the expansion "to wit". So, I would argue that "viz" has a preference towards use in more formal contexts, compared to "ie"

Many thanks for your response, 影さん. I see you argue that viz. is used in more formal contexts than i.e.--just the opposite of my earlier speculation.
Since even some of the educated native speakers are not completely sure about the distinction, I suppose for the moment that a non-native speaker like myself will not need to worry too much, except when writing a legal, professional, or some highly technical document.
