It's the equivalent of 'lol.'

Back when aFrenchie was around, he posted a good collection of assorted French net abbreviations, of which mdr is a drop in the bucket :-P
An interesting thing with French internet slang is that it's very phonetic. While there are of course abbreviations, most of the time when one sees internet-speak, it's actually just in phonetics (kind of like use ur for you're, or sk8 for skate). My dictionary has a page dedicated to French phonetic netspeak :-P
oh excuse us you have a fancy dictionary ;) lol I learn something new everyday

zut, lol. I remember a french "learn yourself" book I have says that means "darn it." But I'd prolly never say it cause I dunno how cheezy that really sounds to a Frenchie, lol. I'm trying to shoot for least embarassing when I speak French, lol.

I think it also means "shoot" or "blasted." Guess, we'll have to let a native francophone tell us if it is "cheezy." :D

I remember "zut" from my French textbooks, so it must be cheesy.
