Here's from an article in Visual Thesaurus on Text Messaging I thought was funny: some new lingo
- NLE2M: Not laughing, even to myself.
- URSAGAM: Your spelling and grammar appall me.
- TWDOWWRAANC: Texting while driving — oops, wasn't watching road and am now crashing.
- URD2M: You're dead to me.
- ISOURG: I spit on your grave.
- OLRUS: Our lives are unpardonably shallow.
- TUMFTI: Thought you might find this interesting (particularly useful when forwarding an e-clipping about a newly discovered health risk).
- CTNTF: Can't text now; thumbs fatigued.
- TRE: Technology ruins everything.
- IBMM: I blame Marshall McLuhan.
- 23S!: 23 skidoo!
- WIWURAWDHTM: When I was your age, we didn't have text messaging.
- ISRN2U: I'm standing right next to you.
- HWBNIICSM: Hit wrong button; now inexplicably in clock-setting menu.
- HSORAID2PLSM: Heard song on radio and instantly downloaded to phone! Life still meaningless.
- NPM@TT: No personal message at this time.
The EE Menu of Text Expressions (each entry conveniently fewer than 160 characters), for those forced to thumb-type on the go who nonetheless mourn the loss of grandiloquent public expression. NJOY!
