The FBI feels it needs a cheat sheet to understand todays Twitter jargon.

The agency's 83-page "Twitter Shorthand" dictionary was made public this week. It offers up a few good laughs and perhaps a better understanding of what their friends' 140-character messages mean.

The list consists of approximately 2800 references. Jason Smathers made the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request in January for all the data regarding "leetspeak."

"With the advent of Twitter and other social media venues on the Internet, the use of shorthand and acronyms has expanded," the document said, adding that this is an extensive, "but far from exhaustive" record.

The agency suggested: "This list has almost 2,800 entries you should find useful in your work or for keeping up with your children and/or grandchildren." It contained entries such as "::POOF::" (goodbye/leaving the room), "ALOTBSOL" (always look on the bright side of life), "GNSTDLTBBB" (good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite), and "WYLABOCTGWTR" (would you like a bowl of cream to go with that remark?).
