Used when someone has said something so funny LOL just will not suffice.

When someone tells you something too personal or something you didn’t really want to know

SMH - Shaking My Head 

Usually used when one is disappointed with someone or something.

If you cannot be bothered reading a long message or post but want to reply.

FYI – For Your Information

An easy way to say you should really know this.
