FBI指出，网络俚语已经有十多年的发展历史，它早在Twitter上线之前就已经存在。现在，考虑到Twitter发布状态的字数限定，这也许成为了FBI推网络俚语的原因所在。
不过FBI绝非是首个想到编目网络俚语的机构。像UrbanDictionary、noslang、Wiktionary等网站早就已经涉入这一领域。
让我们看看FBI版本的罗塞塔石碑语言：
IIRC:if I recall correctly
KISS:keep it simple, stupid
TLDR:too long;didn't read
BTDGTGTTSAWIO: Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and wore it out
PEBKAC: Problem exists between keyboard and chair (this one's often said among IT support staff)
DWISNWID: Do what I say, not what I do
OTTOMH: Off the top of my head
IDUNNO: I don't know
QWERTYUIOP: bored
