An interesting word that refers to a common practice these days is 'Initialism'. The practice of either forming expressions from initials and the usage of such formed words is referred to as initialism. SMS and chats have only fueled the growth of this phenomenon. ROFTL - rolling-on-the-floor-laughing is a prime example of initialism as much as is 'lol'.
