I've seen it used more commonly as "In my honest opinion", but that's just me.
In other news, yeah, this topic is just acronyms, not internet memes, so it's
technically already off-topic. Is a topic or title change necessary?
EDIT: Thank you firefox for submitting my message when I wasn't finished, I appreciate that

Done.
To contribute: tl;dr - "Too long; Didn't read" (generally a response to someone posting a wall of incomprehensible text, though it is a bit rude)

IDK = I Don't Know
IDC = I Don't Care
GG = Good Going / Go, Go!
GJ = Good Job
I can go on and on, but there are many that I've forgotten, and most of them have swears anyways.

Another use of GG: "Good game", used at the end of a round in competitive team-based games (provided that the people playing are civil enough to say it), e.g. Team Fortress 2.
AFAIC: As far as I care/As far as I'm concerned
AFAIK: As far as I know
MFW: My face when - upon realizing/seeing something, usually accompanied with a reaction image, e.g.:
>MFW:

Sorry, my image folder is full of pony. Couldn't find anything better to use as an example.
I could probably think of some other safe-to-use acronyms given time, but there you go for now.

I know it was a face, I was making a joke.
