 Internet slang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet slang is slang which Internet users have coined and promulgated.
The vocabulary of Internet slang (or chatspeak or netspeak) draws from many different sources — typically environments that placed value on brevity of communication.
Although Internet slang has a close relationship with leetspeak, only online gamers and the hacker community traditionally use leet (now primarily used as sarcasm or mockery), while much larger groups of Internet users commonly use Internet slang.

 BlackChampagne.com -- Internet Slang
Slang isn't always designed for time saving though, much of the time it evolves organically, and new slang terms come about to describe new paradigms, new ideas or concepts that require a specific term for them, a word or two that can be used to express a larger concept in capsule form.
Slang on the Internet incorporates all slang used in real life, but adds much to it.
No one page can hope to give a thorough tutorial in Internet Slang, but as a relatively experienced Internet user, one who is tired of seeing so many of the same questions asked over and over again, I can at least write a decent introduction to Internet Slang page.

This document is a collection of slang terms used by various subcultures of computer hackers.
To make a confused situation worse, the line between hacker slang and the vocabulary of technical programming and computer science is fuzzy, and shifts over time.

 Leetspeak: A parent's primer to computer slang
Leetspeak, or leet for short, is a specific type of computer slang in which a user replaces regular letters with other keyboard characters to form words phonetically.
Though it was originally used by computer hackers and online gamers ("leet" is a vernacular form of "elite"), leet has moved into the Internet mainstream.
Your kids might use it online for fun, and you might even have seen a word or two used by your own friends and associates online.
