I see almost on every thread stuff like "ROFLMAO" and many other that I do not understand. Can someone please post what they mean? I am sorry if I sound naive or something but it is getting annoying when I see them and have no clue what they try to say especially if this is the only thing they write.
thank you

There's always Google:  "define: ROFLMAO" results in:
"FlyerTalk lingo meaning "Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A$$ Off"
www.flyertalk.com/glossary/

This is an acronym for rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

Internet slang consists of slang that users of the Internet have developed and utilized. Many of its terms originated with the purpose of saving keystrokes, (for example, "u" for "you", "r" for "are", "4" for "for", etc.) as a result many use the same abbreviations in text messages (see txt). The terms often appear in lower case, with capitals often reserved for emphasis — the pronoun "I", for example, often appears simply as "i".
