Compiled list of internet slang terms

Bookmark Wikipedia’s List of Internet Slang Terms. You know, just in case you find yourself scratching your head while staring at an obnoxious looking acronym with no real meaning for yourself. A few which are altogether new to me:

Godwin’s Law: dictates that the longer a thread, the more likely someone will post a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler.

PEBKAC/PEBCAK: Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

Tweedler: computer geek or someone who plays with themselves at the computer.

What amazes me is not so much the exhaustive list of terms, rather, the fact that users from around the world are actively editing the wiki adding or editing terms for others to familiarize themselves with.
