ATIS

Automated Terminal Information System. Either a looped recording or a voice synthesis system which plays a looping audio stream over a radio frequency for the purpose of giving weather and other operational information to Pilots. Information can include runways in use, wind direction and speed, cloud level, and any other important information a pilot needs to know. Can also refer to the information given itself.

LE

Short form of "Elli", a girls name. Used because by saying the letters "L" and "E" the word "Elli" is the result. Best used in text, so most often used on Msn Messenger or on a blog.

1: Hi LE What's up?

2:
MSN friend: Hey wanna come see a movie tonight?
Me: Yeh ok, Can I bring LE along?
MSN friend: yeh It's about time I met this chick
