DXB?
It is frustrating to memorize silly abbreviations for small words. I was chatting with my friend and she was telling me that her boyfriend is in DXB now. I was like what is dxb? Can't think of any place that has a 'd', 'x' and a 'b' in it's name. DXB is apparently the short form of Dubai. Since I had to ask her which place she meant by that silly abbreviation she typed... she was amazed that I did'nt know that. It's totally meaningless and doesn't make any sense to me. I don't know why the creator made such an abbreviation. There was a time when I didn't know what 'lol' was. It's apparently 'uncool' to not use this lang especially when your in a cool party with the hunks gaping at you. Wotevaaa...... who am I to say!.. I am no one to comment on the World of Web Lang.

Yah, very true. I also have to use google a lot when I started chatting :), but, we'll get used to it.
lol! i 'lol' a lot. have done that ever since i figured out what it stood for. i also rofl and lmao and a whole lot of other things :D
dxb isn't net slang. that's what airlines refer to dubai as
dxb isnt a chat acronym.. Its just the name of the domain and the airport code. So, u neednt be disgusted about not knowing it. its just a part of world knowledge.
I lol a lot... I thnk its the best way to laugh.. :).. I rarely use the ones other than this.

its the airport code
Ok.... Forgive me!!!!! I didn't know it was the airport code! But does it really matter?? I still get irritated when I hear abbreviations that make no sense to me. Why an 'x'? Anyways... thanks for the extra knowledge g-man.
The X cos There could be many other places DB... So they put an alphabet which could distinctively stand out.
its like the sms lingo.....its so weird when you are new to it and even before you realise, you <3 it.
if los angeles can be LAX, dubai can be DBX :-)
