Now it becomes a language only for the "in crowd".

But isn't that often the whole point? Like thieves' cant or rhyming slang, the idea is to define an 'in' crowd.

Of course, with the Interweb, we all have Google, so however arcane the abbreviation, it's trivially easy to find out what it means. Easier than sisterhooks, I think.
