AOLese, also known as AIMspeak, consists of slang that users of the AOL (see America Online) Internet service have developed, utilized and were once specific only to the AOL service itself.
Many AOLese terms originated with the purpose of saving keystrokes in AOL chat rooms and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Some examples are IM for Instant Message , YGM for You ve Got Mail , and YGP for You ve Got Pictures . As a result many AOLese terms have since become part of the mainstream Internet slang. The terms may appear in both lower case and capital characters. The use of AOLese is sometimes considered noobish , especially by those who see themselves as
Leet.
