emonic

A new language / dialect born exclusively out of use of instant messaging protocols such as AIM or Yahoo instant messenger -- when the initial letters of words in a popular phrase are brought together to abbreviate said phrase. The word stems from the word ebonics -- an African American dialect made popular in urban ghettos.

Examples of emonic phrases:
1) LOL : laughing out loud
2) LMAO: laughing my a** off
3) OMG: oh my God
4) etc.

The quickest way to tell her how funny she was was to use the emonic LMAO. She got the point.
