When I see such logs I wonder about meaning of "English as a second language". I always thought it is about me.

That's what happens when lolcats get online.

Rear Axle Weight Rating. It's what my wife says when she's horny.
 
Omegle is kind of scary. Its half populated by pedophiles and guys pretending to be underage girls to mess with the pedophiles.
 
Great, now I have to Google "Omegle" just to find out what you're talking about.

Edited to add: :bugeye: I haven't ever heard of that one. It reads: Talk to Strangers

Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like.

Gosh.

There goes years of telling children to do the exact opposite.

I chatted for awhile with someone who said they were from Korea the other night. Other than that, though, I haven't had any decent conversations on Omegle. It's amazing how easy it is to make some guy think you're a girl, though (even without trying!)

How do you know that that person was a guy?

People have been using that abbreviation in chat rooms for ages. Even I knew that one. :biggrin: Then again, it looks like asking what it is is much more effective for putting an end to such a conversation. :smile:
