There's also HHOK, for "Ha Ha Only Kidding."

IMHO?  Well I always thought it meant, "Isn't my honesty outrageous".

Or was it, "Infer modesty however overblown"?

No, no.  It's, "Impure metafores heave odiferous".

Maybe my asking this question wasn't such a great idea. :)
Actually I like chelsea's outrageous honesty best.
HHOK may come in handy too. Thanks all. Now its someone elses turn to use
this entry to ask a glossary question.

            for you.

Actually, <g> means "Genreal Admission", and so the response
is wholesome family entertainment suitable for young children.

Ok ts, what the heck is sfsf?

#15 of 21 by robh on Wed Jan 27 17:13:53 1993:

Obviously, it means "science fiction science fiction", and the
person who writes this must want you to go to the SciFi
conference and enter new items.

(Shameless plug.)

#20 of 21 by cwb on Fri Jan 29 00:26:54 1993:

     Ascii smiley-faces don't get read when I'm scanning messages, which
is why I use the counterconvention <smile> or <rueful grin.>
