lol, me either - probably another ATOT word like neff.

"I was neffing today and these dudorz on there were tiffing like crazy. OMGWTFBBQANDSTUFF"

:confused: what was that?

TIFF

OHHHHHHHHH. Tiff, as in the picture format. I guess its been so long since I've used a Mac, or seen a .tiff picture that I forgot.

Can't believe that one went by me. So I guess the OP is a MAC user? I seriously haven't seen a Tiff file even used on a PC. Its all JPEG and PNG these days, although isn't Tiff capable of better resolution then PNG, or is PNG the highest quality picture format?

Did you actually say "LOL" or did you "LOL"?

I think it would have ruined the moment if I said "el oh el"... besides, does anyone actually say that?
I know a geeky girl who says "W-T-F". :laugh:

What is she talking about? I know what the image format is, but I don't understand her using it in this context.

I've never really used a MAC but I do know and use TIFF formats on a PC. Well, I guess you're not much into graphics...

Imaging for Windows (part of the Windows 9x, 2k installation) uses TIFFs. If I'm not mistaken (which I might be since I don't use that program), TIFFs were the default format it used for a time.

TIFF's are uncompressed images, or slightly compressed. I use them all the time. They are good for going between PC and MAC's etc.

LOL, that a nice one.

Unfortunately the only tiffs I know of are the image files... never heard tiff used to mean a fight, but still your GF is definately a keeper.
