Geek dictionary

Geek speak is getting more and more common. Somebody should compile a dictionary. Believe it or not, this is going to be a new formal language. (All formal language originates from the informal usage of existing language. Hence, Latin turned into the Romance languages, etc.) Here are some common ones in Anandtech off of the top of my head, but more would be great!

PWNS = OWNS (rules over, is better than)
t3h, teh = the
sux0r = one that sucks (but not directly "sucker")
h4x0r = one who hacks
!!!!!11111 = exclamation marks
pr0n = pornography
f (followed by any other unrecognizable combination of letters and/or numbers, including but not limited to fvck, f@p, etc.) = the F word
FF = Final Fantasy
LOTR = Lord of the Rings
rulez = rules (is better than the others)
EVAR = ever, of all time
imo = in my opinion
imho = in my humble opinion
lol = laughing out loud
lmao = laughing my [anus] off
lmfao = laughing my (expletive) [anus] off
rotflmao = rolling on the floor laughing my [anus] off


I really consider myself a computer historian.
 
Most of those terms have been submitted here.

And it seems to me it'd be better described as 'retard speak' than 'geek speak'. 😛
