A simple question about forum speak, please help

[Quiet Stranger]

I've been seeing this "ITT" a lot lately, what does it stand for? and what do the other ones stand for (I don't remember the word for long words shortened to 3 letters or so)

 

[sky14kemea]

uhh... Acronyms? (I think?)

ITT... I actually have no idea D: What are the others ones you're confused by? I probably know them -w-

I have another one.

The repetition of a word before and after the noun.

Example;

'Fail troll is fail'

or

'Obvious idiot is obvious'

or

'Lonely nerd is lonely'

or

'Yummy noms is yummy'

Where did this come from?

A lack of an extensive vocabulary? Or maybe they are using repetition to hypnotize the reader into believing as they do, believing as they do, believing as they do.

Seriously though, that is weird. It would be interesting to see where the origin of some of this stuff comes from. I think we need us an internet semanticist to determine some of this stuff.

Ah... that makes sense, Ralph started it. Well, there goes my theory. Damn, I was hoping it would be more interesting.
