LOL: A quick guide to text speak for David Cameron

Rebekah Brooks has revealed that David Cameron signs off some of his texts with LOL, in the belief the acronym means "Lots Of Love". She told the Leveson Inquiry that she explained to him it actually means "Laughing Out Loud". In fact, they're both right and they're both wrong, as it means both. Here, to help both of them, is a list of other popular acronyms and what they absolutely don't mean, tempting though it might be for them to believe otherwise if Cameron happened to use them: ROFL: Rebekah, On For Lunch? FFS: Freud Fixed Shenanigans FFS: Fuck! Farewell Sky WTF: Was Tony Funnier? OMG: Oh, Murdoch's Gorgeous IMHO: Is My Horse OK?
