Задача

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Кауфман 11 класс, Титул: 10 David explains to Lisa the phrases she didn’t understand. Listen to him and check your ideas. David: It’s easy to get confused by all the abbreviations we use in the Internet forums, chats and SMSs. Some of them are very straightforward: THX, meaning «Thanks», WUF?, meaning «Where (are) you from?» and AFAIK, standing for «As far as I know». The abbreviations used to close the communication aren’t difficult either: BBL — Be back later G2G — Got to go CU — See you We use a lot of abbreviations to express emotions, like LU, «Love you», or LOL, «Laugh(ing) out loud», or CRBT, «Crying real big tears». However, the wittiest abbreviations, making the conversation fun, are not always so easy to understand. What is 404, or POS, or PITN, or GAL? And what does PIBKAC (which is my favourite) stand for? Let me try to explain. 404 means «I have no idea». It comes from a common error message used on the Internet when a web page cannot be found. POS or «Parent over shoulder» is a warning that somebody else can read the conversation and it would be wise to change the topic. GAL means «Get a life» and is often addressed to people who spend too much time studying or working. It can also mean, «Stop wasting your time on such rubbish, do something useful and interesting». PITN decodes as a «Pain in the neck» and is used to express negative emotions about a problem or a person causing one. So you can say that a new neighbour is a PITN, because his music wakes up the whole house every night. As I’ve said, my absolute favourite abbreviation is PIBKAC, meaning «Problem is between keyboard and chair». Do you get the joke? No? Who is between the keyboard and the chair? Right, the person using the computer. So PIBKAC is used to explain to a person that the problems he or she is having are his or her own fault. Another good one is TGIF, meaning «Thank God it’s Friday», obviously used on Friday after a long and difficult week. Good, I think that’s enough to start with.
