OSLT is an acronym which stands for Or Something Like That. It apparently was invented by Woozle when writing letters in the 1990s or possibly earlier[1], though the first known documentation of it is email dialogue[2] with Harena in 2001.
2007-04-10 Update: This has now morphed into saying "ocelot" instead of "OSLT". This variant was apparently coined by Tenebram (in #sluggysquad, 2006-01-11 16:50:08 EST), subsequently overused a lot by Dhraakellian, and seems to have taken on a life of its own...
