From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
talk mode n.   A feature supported by Unix, ITS, and some other    OSes that allows two or more logged-in users to set up a real-time    on-line conversation.   It combines the immediacy of talking with all    the precision (and verbosity) that written language entails.   It is    difficult to communicate inflection, though conventions have arisen    for some of these (see the section on writing style in the    Prependices for details).          Talk mode has a special set of jargon words, used to save typing,    which are not used orally.   Some of these are identical to (and    probably derived from) Morse-code jargon used by ham-radio amateurs    since the 1920s.       AFAIK       as far as I know       BCNU       be seeing you       BTW       by the way       BYE?       are you ready to unlink?   (this is the standard way to end a       talk-mode conversation; the other person types `BYE' to confirm,       or else continues the conversation)       CUL       see you later       ENQ?       are you busy?   (expects `ACK' or `NAK' in return)       FOO?       are you there? (often used on unexpected links, meaning also       "Sorry if I butted in ..." (linker) or "What's up?"   (linkee))       FWIW       for what it's worth       FYI       for your information       FYA       for your amusement       GA       go ahead   (used when two people have tried to type simultaneously;       this cedes the right to type to the other)       GRMBL       grumble (expresses disquiet or disagreement)       HELLOP       hello? (an instance of the `-P' convention)       IIRC       if I recall correctly       JAM       just a minute (equivalent to `SEC....')       MIN       same as `JAM'       NIL       no (see {NIL})       NP       no problem       O       over to you       OO       over and out       /       another form of "over to you" (from x/y as "x over y")       \       lambda (used in discussing LISPy things)       OBTW       oh, by the way       OTOH       on the other hand       R U THERE?       are you there?       SEC       wait a second (sometimes written `SEC...')       SYN       Are you busy? (expects ACK, SYN|ACK, or RST in return; this is       modeled on the TCP/IP handshake sequence)       T       yes (see the main entry for {T})       TNX       thanks       TNX 1.0E6       thanks a million (humorous)       TNXE6       another form of "thanks a million"       WRT       with regard to, or with respect to.       WTF       the universal interrogative particle; WTF knows what it means?       WTH       what the hell?             When the typing party has finished, he/she types two newlines to       signal that he/she is done; this leaves a blank line between       `speeches' in the conversation, making it easier to reread the       preceding text.       :       When three or more terminals are linked, it is conventional for       each typist to {prepend} his/her login name or handle and a colon       (or a hyphen) to each line to indicate who is typing (some       conferencing facilities do this automatically).   The login name is       often shortened to a unique prefix (possibly a single letter)       during a very long conversation.       /\/\/\       A giggle or chuckle.   On a MUD, this usually means `earthquake       fault'.       Most of the above sub-jargon is used at both Stanford and MIT.    Several of these expressions are also common in {email}, esp.   FYI,    FYA, BTW, BCNU, WTF, and CUL.   A few other abbreviations have been    reported from commercial networks, such as GEnie and CompuServe,    where on-line `live' chat including more than two people is common    and usually involves a more `social' context, notably the following:             grin             grinning, ducking, and running       BBL       be back later       BRB       be right back       HHOJ       ha ha only joking       HHOK       ha ha only kidding       HHOS       {ha ha only serious}       IMHO       in my humble opinion (see {IMHO})       LOL       laughing out loud       NHOH       Never Heard of Him/Her (often used in {initgame})       ROTF       rolling on the floor       ROTFL       rolling on the floor laughing       AFK       away from keyboard       b4       before       CU l8tr       see you later       MORF       male or female?       TTFN       ta-ta for now       TTYL       talk to you later       OIC       oh, I see       rehi       hello again       Most of these are not used at universities or in the Unix world,    though ROTF and TTFN have gained some currency there and IMHO is    common; conversely, most of the people who know these are unfamiliar    with FOO?, BCNU, HELLOP, {NIL}, and {T}.          The {MUD} community uses a mixture of Usenet/Internet emoticons,    a few of the more natural of the old-style talk-mode abbrevs, and    some of the `social' list above; specifically, MUD respondents    report use of BBL, BRB, LOL, b4, BTW, WTF, TTFN, and WTH.   The use    of `rehi' is also common; in fact, mudders are fond of re- compounds    and will frequently `rehug' or `rebonk' (see {bonk/oif}) people.    The word `re' by itself is taken as `regreet'.   In general, though,    MUDders express a preference for typing things out in full rather    than using abbreviations; this may be due to the relative youth of    the MUD cultures, which tend to include many touch typists and to    assume high-speed links.   The following uses specific to MUDs are    reported:       CU l8er       see you later (mutant of `CU l8tr')       FOAD       fuck off and die (use of this is generally OTT)       OTT       over the top (excessive, uncalled for)       ppl       abbrev for "people"       THX       thanks (mutant of `TNX'; clearly this comes in batches of 1138 (the       Lucasian K)).       UOK?       are you OK?       Some {B1FF}isms (notably the variant spelling `d00d') appear to be    passing into wider use among some subgroups of MUDders.          One final note on talk mode style: neophytes, when in talk mode,    often seem to think they must produce letter-perfect prose because    they are typing rather than speaking.   This is not the best    approach.   It can be very frustrating to wait while your partner    pauses to think of a word, or repeatedly makes the same spelling    error and backs up to fix it.   It is usually best just to leave    typographical errors behind and plunge forward, unless severe    confusion may result; in that case it is often fastest just to type    "xxx" and start over from before the mistake.          See also {hakspek}, {emoticon}.

Telecommunication Display Device          {Telecommunications Device for the Deaf}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Telecommunications Device for the Deaf          (TDD) A terminal device used widely by deaf       people for text communication over telephone lines.          The acronym TDD is sometimes expanded as "Telecommunication       Display Device" but is generally considered to be derived from       "Telecommunications Device for the Deaf", although there is       some disagreement on this.   The deaf themselves do not usually       use the term "TDD", but prefer simply "{TTY}" -- possibly the       original term.   The ambiguity between this and the other       meanings of "{TTY}" is generally not problematic.   The acronym       "TTD" is also common [Teletype for the deaf?].          The standard most used by TDDs is reportedly a survivor of       {Baudot code} implemented {asynchronous}ly at 45.5 or 50       {baud}, 1 {start bit}, 5 data bits, and 1.5 {stop bits}.   This       is generally incompatible with standard {modems}.          [Standards docs?   {i18n} issues?]          A typical TDD is a device about the size of a small {laptop       computer} (resembling, in fact, a circa 1983 Radio Shack       {Model 100} computer) with a {QWERTY keyboard}, and small       screen (often one line high, often made of an array of       {LED}s).   There is often a small printer for making       transcripts of terminal sessions.          Because of the {Stone Age} vintage of this technology (the       idiosyncrasy of which drives up the expense of individual       units), it is thought that TDD standards should transition to       use of standard modem line settings (e.g., ASCII 2400-8-N-1).       An obstacle to this is the millions of Baudot-only terminals       in use (an example of {lock-in} with a high cruft factor).          Another scenario sees the use of TDDs being replaced by the       use of {personal computers} and {talk} protocols, presumably       over the {Internet}.          (1998-06-15)

Tool Command Language          /tik*l/ (Tcl) An interpreted string processing       language for issuing commands to {interactive} programs,       developed by {John Ousterhout} at {UCB}.   Each {application       program} can extend tcl with its own set of commands.          Tcl is like a text-oriented {Lisp}, but lets you write       algebraic expressions for simplicity and to avoid scaring       people away.   Though originally designed to be a "scripting       language" rather than for serious programming, Tcl has been       used successfully for programs with hundreds of thousands of       lines.          It has a peculiar but simple {syntax}.   It may be used as an       embedded {interpreter} in application programs.   It has       {exceptions} and {packages} (called libraries), {name-spaces}       for {procedures} and {variables}, and provide/require.   It       supports {dynamic loading} of {object code}.   It is {eight-bit       clean}.   It has only three variable types: strings, lists and       {associative arrays} but no {structures}.          Tcl and its associated {GUI} {toolkit}, {Tk} run on all       flavors of {Unix}, {Microsoft Windows}, {Macintosh} and {VMS}.       Tcl runs on the {Amiga} and many other {platforms}.          Current version: 8.0.3, as of 1998-09-25.          See also {expect} (control interactive programs and pattern       match on their output), {Cygnus Tcl Tools}, {[incr Tcl]} (adds       classes and inheritence to Tcl), {Scriptics} (John       Ousterhout's company that is the home of Tcl development and       the TclPro tool suite), {Tcl Consortium} (a non-profit agency       dedicated to promoting Tcl), {tclhttpd} (an embeddable       Tcl-based web server), {tclx} (adds many commands to Tcl),       {tcl-debug}.          {comp.lang.tcl FAQ at MIT       (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.answers/tcl-faq/)}.       or {at purl.org (http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/)}.          {Scriptics downloads       (http://www.scriptics.com/software/download.html)}.       {Kanji (ftp://srawgw.sra.co.jp/pub/lang/tcl/jp/)}.          {Usenet} newsgroups: {news:comp.lang.tcl.announce},       {news:comp.lang.tcl}.          ["Tcl: An Embeddable Command Language", J.
