My friends and I use omg as "oh em gee" to act it up and imitate the bubbly airhead girls from my school. Other than that, we're pretty acronym free.

i never use abbreviations, not even bff. makes you sound like an idiot, in my opinion. plus it's not a good thing to get used to.

The only abbreviation I guess I even use when actually speaking to someone is "A.S.A.P.", or something like that. I don't use internet speak when I talk.

When I'm talking? Like speaking? Only to make a point or a joke. Like if I'm making fun of someone I'll say LOL before and after I say it. Sarcasm is great. Or I'll say, "I loled" to make someone laugh.

I know that my friend says, "B" when she's talking about boyfriends. "So how's your B?" But I say, "How's your bubbah?"

So naw.

I don't use those abbreviations when I speak. I rarely ever even use them when I text or chat. One of my friends says "LOL", though. I used to find it really annoying, but she says it so often that I got used to it.

Not really, when I talk I tend to say the whole phrase or whatever it is instead.
