How to use this Page

This is probably universal, but my kids often text me with one letter to let me know we're all in agreement:

K

So while not that unusual or anything but
I've been trying to quit cursing for years as I work with kids and it just isn't cool professionally, so instead I use filler words like "oh, SNAP!" being my fav. It usually gets a laugh and I don't negatively influence anyone.

LOL... my niece and I use it as Laugh Out Loud but my mother-in-law uses it as Lots of Love, which can get awful confusing. As could be Lots of Luck. <3 :)

My most random "slang" term is "doop."

It's short for "doop shootz" which is obviously a variant of a term I can't use in front of my pre-schooler.

I spend half the day telling her "not to say that" anyway. . . . :)

Our most-used texting acronym is rofl.

Cheryl S.

Acronym: ROTFLMAO
Slang: Holy Freak.
Okay, they're sayings my characters use, but I've caught myself saying Holy Freak a lot now. ;)

In Texting we use lol, 2, and ttfn a lot.
And in IMing we use rofl a lot.

I don't really use shortened words or anything when I text, because it annoys me... I even use commas and everything when I text. :p I'm such an English nerd. The only one I use is lol.

But, anyway, my friends use ttfn (ta ta for now), jk (just kidding). Those are the two main ones. I can't not stand them doing this, though, and I let them know... maybe that's why they haven't been using them lately? haha. :)

hope.

My GF's and I use
SN2SH
when talking about rotten guys.
It means 'Somebody Needs to Slap Him'.

I'm not sure it's slang or anything, but it really bugs my dad!

Awesome, totally, and random.

I have a deep hatred for slang in texting, but the one thing I do use sometimes (I'm gonna go with Tina on this one) is K!

a lot of times me and my friends use is "oh shiz!" we use it instead of saying oh shi*

I'm similar to Nikki, I don't like using bad words. What I do is substitute silly words for the bad ones it's pretty fun and actually catchy hehe I've gotten a LOT of my friends to say fudge brownies instead of the other word haha it's pretty interesting hehe

I would usually say holy poop and the acronym we used most often would be brb, nvm, lol and all that good stuff!

DFTBA- Don't Forget to be Awesome!

CYNA Could You Not Abbreviate, because my friend and I always get emails with so many abbreviations it can't be deciphered. So for all you hypocrites out there, CYNA!

My mom sister and I always use "defily"(don't ever forget i love you) to say good by to eachother. It means alot to us because my sister is not living with us at home anymore and we miss her. So "defily" which sounds like deaf with -ly tagged onto the end of it is our way of saying "love you".

Overused acronym: 2c4u (too cool for you)
Favorite slang word: fosho (for sure)
Haha both of these words get used a LOT at my school! Love your books Simone :)

the only one i can think of right now is the one i just used, ngl: not gonna lie.

I'm going to hope this counts because I'm a dork and don't use really any texting stuff (my mother uses more than I do)...but I do use bc or b/c a lot for because--probably because I use that in writing, too :)

-Lucil

Slang: Slog. As in, I slog, you slog, he she it slogs.

Ex: I'm totally slogging in algebra.

Acronym: TSB: A creation of my two best friends and I, standing for That's So Britney. We use it whenever one of the guys in our school shaves his head, like Brit did while so was having a little breakdown.

-J.T.

I use "no manches" a lot. I picked it up when I was on exchange to Mexico. Depending on the context it can mean different things, but I guess the best way to describe it is to tell someone to stop kidding around or to show disbelief or surprise.

I love everything that you are giving away. The es un libro shirt is so fun.

My friends and I love reading British books so we picked up the word uber and haven't been able to stop saying it! so uber would be me slang lolz!

Nay-nay

my sister and I say BRB whenever we leave a room. we even have our Mom saying it when she is going somewhere. BRB!
and I will because I always come back to this blog!

I use TTYL for texting and emailing, and ROFL and LOL alot also in both of those. I am pretty new to texting, but with teens it's a necessity, so I'd better get used to it!

Oooh, it's hard to pick just one.
Between my bff and I, the most used chatspk is probably "ILUBB" which is basically "I love ya babe or baby"

We usually use it after an inside joke. (LOL jk; ilubb <3)

I use PEACE for texting and emailing.


Peace

"Down low" as in, don't tell anyone keep it on the down low.

Also, instead of saying "I'm not up for that" or "I'm not down with that", we say I'm not jiggy with that."

Yeah, we are that dumb. :-)

Okay,, I don't get half of what people are writing here :S, but anyway, my sister and I started to use this code word for "gay". Instead of saying it out loud we started saying Greg-Adam. And now my whole family uses it and all of my friends... =P

i end up always using the acronym LOL at least once ina chat conve.

We use lol.

Me and my best friend love reading and writing, so we talk in random literary jargon, constantly throwing around terms like "Mary Sue" and "muse" and "nanoism" while people give us strange looks of confusion.

And I don't really send text messages, but when I'm online I someimes use lol, omg, and smileys :). I also tend to put things in *asterisks*.
