What is r/t?

[tedbear]

In the personals at gay,com, I've seen several profiles saying "looking for r/t". Is it something obvious that I'm overlooking?

"real time", or IM chatting as opposed to message boards of this type...

The same as cybersex...but not nearly so cliche & overused...

My experience with the term "R/T" (real time) means just the opposite of cybersex - it is people looking for the real thing and not idle chat or cyber.

Yes...the same as hookup NOW!

How about nbsp or something close to that? I've been wondering about that one for awhile.

'nbsp' preceded by an ampersand and followed by a semicolon is HTML for 'non-breaking space'. It tells a browser to unconditionally insert a space at that point.

 

Browsers usually collapse spaces as they attempt to render pages. Non-breaking spaces give Web designers more control over how spaces are used.

 

If a Web designer has forgotten to include either the leading ampersand or the trailing semicolong, what you'll see is NBSP on the page instead of the desired space. So, when you see it, it means the Web page is a little screwed up.
