Geek Speak

From the Straits Times (Urban Section), 17 May 2007:

GEEK SPEAK A TO Z
Love it or H8 it, techie lingo is popping up everywhere. Here's a guide to deciphering it
A
AAR8: At any rate
ALTG: Act locally, think globally
B
BAK: Back at keyboard
Boring.com: implies something is a flop
CCBB: Can't be bothered
CYM: Check your mail
D
DIKU: Do I know you?
DYHAB: Do you have a boyfriend?
DYHAG: Do you have a girlfriend?
E
EAK: Eating at keyboard
EOD: End of day
F
FOFL: Falling on floor laughing
G
GAP?: Got a picture?
H
HB: Hurry back
HIG: How's it going
I
ID1OT: Idiot

Sad to say, of the 26 letters, I am only familiar with WRU and ZZzz. 2 / 26 = 7.7% I failed miserably at geek speak.
