Our great Russian computer language ...

Based on the news from Compulenta and nostalgia.

The firm Merriam-Webster, a well-known American publisher of dictionaries, published a list of words, the meaning of which most interested visitors of the company's web service in the outgoing year. The word that occupied the minds of the majority of visitors to the Merriam-Webster site this year was an interjection
“W00t,” Reuters reports.
According to one version, this word lovers of online games express the joy of victory over the enemy. Thus, the source of the interjection can be considered the phrase “we owned the other team” (“we made another team”).

And I immediately recall that the phrase “to google” appeared sometime in the early 00s, then it turned into a Russian “google” and now almost everyone who uses a computer at least once every two days has come into use.

And if you take it even deeper, then in the distant 90s such interjections like “RTFM”, “WTF?”, “IMHO”, etc. went. Now if my habit of flying something like "IMHO" look askance at me and not everyone understands. When something like this was heard on the street, people exchanged meaningful glances, realizing that they belong to some other caste of people. If “FAK” and “RTFM” were heard in polyphony from some cafe, it meant that fidoshnikov on pointe. :)

And what is the slang waiting for the Russian-speaking Internet? I think there will be something like “contact” and “forget”.

And who uses what specific slang from the Internet of the world?
