    How do you add a top banner to your LiveJournal? Okay, and please don't think I'm stupid. Really, I'm not.

    pwn/pawn. Means 'own'.

    EG:Sara pwns Sofia
    Translated:Sara to tally rules over Sofia.

    Or is better than her. Or something like that. It is 'own' ina sort of way like when you beat someone at something.
    Like:I owned my brother in a videogame

    Hope it makes sense now to whoever asked...

    zippy don't feel so bad that's what I thought when I saw gdr I thought it was refering to Ducky as well. Lol.

    I didn't see this one mentioned but I see it on other board so I'll add it. It's just like TPTB but instead when you are ticked some people say TIIC aka those idiots in charge. I have seen this one posted. Just wanted to pass it along.

    Take Care,
    Dayna

    That is when you are sneaking in a name or word into a sentence. Sort of similar to, "I won't mention the source's name but his initials are Horatio Caine." So you might say, "The source wishes to remain anonymous *cough* Horatio *cough*."

    Kevin Nealon used to do something like that on Saturday Night Live as Subliminal Suggestion Man. As an example, but I made this up, "In the news today, Emily Procter (date me) announced she will continue appearing on Celebrity Poker (strip poker) for another year."

    What does ^_^ mean? and -_-? There's some others that I keep coming across, and I don't know what people are trying to say to me. :lol: :rolleyes: See now I'm trying to find them so I can give more examples, but they're nowhere to be found. :lol:
    I feel like an idiot. :rolleyes: :p

    They are faces: an eye, a nose or mouth, and another eye. Instead of the sideways emoticons like a wink : or a mouth smiling ) or frowning ( .
