Origins of internet slang….
In 1975, Raphael Finke at Stanford compiled a collection, the Jargon File, of hacker slang from technical cultures such as the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), and others of the old ARPANET AI/LISP/PDP-10 communities. Two items on this list in current use as internet slang are "flame" and "loser". By 1990 the Jargon File had been enriched with examples of shorthand used in talk mode between two terminals as well as some slang expressions in use on Usenet and new commercial networks like Compuserve .
A Computerworld article discussing the origin of some current web slang terms cites a still-online Fidonet article from 1989, which displays emoticons in addition to all-caps shortcuts like "LOL" and "BRB" and also "TYT".
