IMHO is "In my _humble_ opinion". Sometimes used sarcastically.

this is a tremendous resource!!! but where's 'fap'?

@aaron according to urban dictionary and lots of other sources, the 'h' in IMHO can stand for either 'honest' or 'humble'(or even 'holy')

This is an excellent post. It cleared up a few things I have seen on Digg, but which flew right over my head.

Slashdot is "Digg-like"? WTF? Were you born in 2000, or did Digg pay you for this article?

Most of the acronyms came from IM and SMS, while most of the geek jargon started on sites like Slashdot. And if anything, Digg is more similar to Fark or Fazed than Slashdot, except that:

- Fark & Fazed have little color-coded category indicators in the list, making it much more convienient to scan through.

- Fark & Fazed focus on cool/interesting/weird stuff. Digg is like Fark/Fazed meets news.google.com and people's random boring bookmarks, leaving you sorting through the mess to find the good stuff.

- The amount of NSFW material is mysteriously much lower on Digg. Apparently the bury brigade are more uptight than the average geek.

As far as Internet geekdom goes, Digg is the mainstream - Fark and Fazed are where it's at.

TLDR

This is stupid. There is no such thing as 'Digg speak.' The words used on Digg are just words that gained their etymologies from the INTERNET.

Stupid.

On Digg, having something to say is only half the battle, knowing how to say it is the other half. This guides you to dissect the jargon, people and memes used in comments on a daily basis. Each section is broken down in detail to help you boost your Digg cred the next time that you leave a comment.

This jargon definitely goes along with several other sites...but you know when "D&D" is incoporated into the list, that you're dealing with some interesting folks.

Fantastic effort on the summary, this has given our internet marketing agency a whole new level of language to use.

Yikes!!! Its a good thing I am not a huge fan of Digg or I would be up all night trying to figure out how to speak like a Digg Pro.

Cool post,, tons of effort :)

Sometimes in Digg or in some forums I get stuck with some jargons. Thankfully, I've been able to get those jargons demystified here.
