Gay Chat Room Terms

Tuesday July 29, 2003
I was completely overwhelmed my first time in a gay chat room because of all of the terms and abbreviations used by the room regulars. I felt isolated with the thought that there was this sort of secret code that everyone knew except me. And as a result of this miscommunication, I missed out on plenty of dating and friendship opportunities.

Nonetheless, as your Gay Life Guide, I feel it's my duty to assist other new chatters and even regular chat visitors with the intricacies of chat language. So, read, study and practice this list of common chat terms and their meanings. Have fun and go find a friend!
