Welcome Mary, I am sure some of us can reconstuct the abbreviations for you.

 

gl = good luck

glp = good luck partner

ty = thank you

typ = thank you partner

wdo = well done opponents

lol = laugh out loud

rofl = roll on floor laughing

 

others will add more. Come back often!

I've seen someone use a clapping had emoji in BBO chat - how do you do that?

The same way you type emojis in any other application.

 

On a Mac, the Edit menu in every application has "Emojis and Symbols", which displays a dialog with all the emojis. I'm not sure what the equivalent on Windows is.

Call me a cynic, but I see absolutely nothing positive about "wdp" for making a cold contract nor "gdp" for beating a contract holding a 5-0 trump stack. Pull off a Vienna Coup and you'll get a WDP! from me. Or beat a contract with a brilliant opening lead and you'll get a GDP! from me. But "wdp" and "gdp" to congratulate routine play, while courteous, are just mundane imo.

Some people write "wdp" reflexively whenever partner doesn't go down. It doesn't matter if it's due to a defensive error, or they could have done even better. Don't take it so seriously.

As I said, I just find it mundane. And I don't take anything real seriously anymore. If "wdp" makes 'em happy, more power to 'em.
