There is stfu.  (Which led a very funny exchange on irc, when someone
asked what it meant, someone answered, and the original questioner
became offended.  (For those who don't know, it stands for shut the f**k
up)  

STFW, search the f***ing web.  1Us3r (I think, I'm too old to get those
right, means loser and a similar one for lamer, something like 14m3r). 

Just to name a few.

Adam: You failed me.
