Yours In Scouting. Some other common abbreviations are:

LOL Laughing Out Loud
ROTFL Rolling On The Floor Laughing

OTOH On The Other Hand

In addition there are a bunch of smiley faces that are used. To
view them, turn your head to the left so that the face appears right-side up:

:-) normal smiley
;-) winking smiley
:-o suprised smiley
:-)} smiley with a beard
:-( sad face
8-) smiley wearing glasses

There are a lot more abbreviations and smileys that are commonly
used, but it's early Sunday morning and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet :-)
