Abbreviations, Slang Terms, Emoticons and Emojis

Welcome to Cyber Definitions!

Don't understand something in your message? We've got you covered. Due to the rise in digital gadgetry, writing is starting to overtake talking as a way of communicating with our family and friends. As a result, thousands of new terms (including abbreviations, icons, and specialist cyber terms) have been added to our language, and the number is growing rapidly.

Cyber Speak has come about to improve brevity and message tone. It is also great fun. Check out these examples and browse the site for thousands more!
