Look at you, all modern and surfing the Internet, trying to be tech-savvy and putting on that Geek-itude; all in an attempt to not end up looking like that ageing typewriter pictured above. You’re trying very hard, aren’t you? We know how it feels. And then, you suddenly encounter an acronym in a chat (or any conversation) and you don’t know what it means. What if your friend says “JK” or “BRB”? Do you know what those acronyms mean?

To help you folks out, we decided to depart from our usual schedule of providing you geeky information about the tech world out there. Instead, we bring to you The Indian Geek’s very own compilation of the most commonly used acronyms in everyday living. Every geeky editor contributed to this list. You think you know all the possible acronyms out there? Read on to find out.

(In alphabetical order)

Note: There are other very popular acronyms which use less than honourable words, which we cannot publish as a part of this list, for obvious reasons. We would also request our readers to refrain from using such off-colour terms and/or phrases. Thanks.

Now that you’ve been armed with the GAL (Geek’s Acronym List), go out there an unleash your geekiness. If you like, feel free to chime in the comments below with your own acronyms which are popular in your circle of friends.
