In the early 80s I was involved with RBBS (Remote Bulletin Board Systems). At the time, the transmission speed was 11 characters/second and a CP/M computer didn't have more than 64k bytes of memory so shortening words was helpful. For instance, BYE was how you signed off rather than Goodbye. BYE was arguably the most important command since it stopped your connection and set the computer up to accept another. LOL is a RBBS term - so way before flip phones.I thought all the abbreviations came about with flip phones that had three letters on each key, press once for the first letter, twice for the second letter and three times to choose the third

I was loving the non-stop wheelies on my Tiger 1050 loaded with camping gear..Climbing that hill with a pillion passenger and luggage and an erratic Boyer Micro Power ignition is something you don’t forget.
