That's great! Un-hip folks like me need a little help with the smiley's and acronyms sometimes. I like it.
They have the uncensored definition of RTFM (!), but they don't include the definition for TTYL (talk to you later).
They also don't have my favorite sneering/smirking smiley

They had this for a while, I believe. But thanks for reminding us. |
They also don't have one of my favorite gmail chat icons :(|) lol |
Whole kit & ka-boodle...

I know Gary Price will be upset again, but I must say IAC Search & Media is a big expert in smileys.

I have a random comment.
Ask.com uses the most bandwith of any search robot, but I almost NEVER get linked from their search results.
Why do you think that is? |
It doest explain UFIA though.... |
would be even better if they display the emoticon!! |
they don't have this:

Now if only they did popular chat acronyms.

Jasper: We do have some and are adding more.
Examples:

http://www.ask.com/web?q=imho&qsrc=1&o=333&l=dir

You'll also see that these results direct link to an article about chat acronyms and NetLingo's dictionary.
