	Internet slang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Internet slang is slang which Internet users have coined and promulgated.
		Like most jargon, Internet slang aggrandizes author and reader, causing them to appear as having specialized knowledge of an already complex medium.
		Internet slang perhaps has a higher learning curve than face-to-face slang, as face-to-face slang can often be deciphered from the context of the facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice.

		Internet abbreviations are often made up on the spot, therefore many of them can be confusing, obscure, or even nonsensical.

	BlackChampagne.com -- Internet Slang
		Slang isn't always designed for time saving though, much of the time it evolves organically, and new slang terms come about to describe new paradigms, new ideas or concepts that require a specific term for them, a word or two that can be used to express a larger concept in capsule form.
		Similar to Internet abbreviations, these are largely created and popularized for their time/letter-saving qualities, but as with all slang, they are also useful to convey a complicated concept in a quick word.
		It is used almost entirely by young, male, Internet newbies, most often ones on their parent's AOL account (hence the name), who somehow have come to the conclusion that this type of speech is cool.
