My boys are still much too young for cell phones of their own, but even at their ages (four and seven), they know what it means to text and eventually, they will start asking for their own phones. My 14 year old stepson does have a cell phone and he basically has his freedom with it. He’s a really, really good kid and never gets into any trouble, but it got me thinking about the what if’s. He’s in high school now and I’m not naive about what goes on in teenagers heads. Even though it was quite a while ago now, I still remember what it was like – the only difference now is that there is all of this technology at their fingertips and they can stay in constant contact about god knows what.
Because I’ve seen way too many episodes of Law and Order SVU, I decided it was important to keep myself up to date on some of the latest text abbreviations that the kids these days use to communicate with each other. Some of these are pretty obvious (well, at least I think so), but thought it was important to share.
- AITR = Adult in the room
- BOB = Battery operated boyfriend
- Kitty = Vagina
- PRW = Parents are watching
- P911 = Parent alert
- PAL = Parents are listening
- GYPO = Get your pants off
- FB = F*** buddy
- LMIRL = Let’s meet in real life
- F/IB = In the front or in the back
- FOGC = Fear Of Getting Caught
- TDTM = Talk dirty to me
- FUM = F***ed Up Mess
- TTA = Tap that ass
- FYA = For your amusement
- WYFM = Would you f*** me?
- ESMF = Eat Sh** Mother F***er
- IWSN = I want sex now
- NIFOC = Nude In Front Of The Computer
- HPOA = Hot Piece Of Ass
- KWSTA = Kiss with serious tongue action
If I have your cell phone number, you may or may not be getting a text from me today containing one or more of these abbreviations. Just sayin’.
Do any of you have any to add to the list?
