a.k.a = also known as
a.s.a.p. = as soon as possible
b.t.w = by the way
and many others i don't know what they mean

I am sooo ignoring you from now on (and you didn't have to join him in his evil ways BB but you, I can forgive ). You're a "marked man" mister and I promise that if and when I decide to "take you on"...there will be "no holds barred" and "no quarter given" . And more importantly you should know that "I take no prisoners " and oh, you'd "shake in your boots". So stop "pushing it" dude or we can just "take this outside" before I totally "lose it". I've got to go but the lessons will continue later... -casandra-

Anyway. the laugh was on you, but worth the trouble (that I to have to pay dear for it was as plain as day for me.
Good night.
