Abbreviation for "Chat On The Internet".
A mysterious shadow organization of absurdists, artists, intellectuals and cynics said to be behind...nothing important, really. Except being funnier and better than you.
When my friend's messageboard was suddenly and cataclysmically overrun by cartoon supervillains, I knew those COTI bastards were behind it.
Short for Crying On The Inside. Can be paired with lol as lolcoti or lol-coti to express "laughing out loud--crying on the inside". Also used by itself, usually as a sarcastic response to upsetting news.
"Great news! My company decided I was 'too valuable' in my current position to offer me that promotion <coti>!"
"Hey, I just heard my Ex is marrying a supermodel! lol-coti"
