May 23 2009Uh-Oh: Parents Catching On To Text Talk

ahh..the good ole days

Second!

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where Max was in a militart experiment and was asleep for many years. When he woke up he was the smartest man alive, and got to serve on the presidents cabinet.

That's the most ridiculous assortment of lies and garbage that I've
ever (half) read. I wonder what sheltered dork came out of the basement
to fill these reporters heads full of this nonsense.

so now they need to come up with an even more rediculous stupid way to text

texting sucks...its like a lazy loser way of leaving a simple voicemail

back in my day we used phones to talk to people

Ahahahaha...
and,STFU daisy...nobody cares.

lol @15 "15 GW Sexing Thing Alive "

GW is hot.

why do I get the vaguest feeling that half of those were made up specifically for this list?
Except for 15. I use that daily.

i have never heard of 90% of those...except for 1337, pr0n, and of course, BANANA PENIS

pshhhh, you guys are so 4726...ahahahahaaaa, i totally use these in all of my conversations

wtf daisy? u always say shit is fake. You know what? YOUR fake. So take THAT. Haha!

awesome Daisy- great movie, best link.

as for the post- WGAS?!

my dad is like the antichrist of technology. he doesn't know how to use anything

I must've been the biggest loser at school because I don't remember having to code everything I wrote in text messages. Oh, wait, I really was the biggest loser at school. That, and I speak the universal language: Spanish, it's in every manual and DVD. That language and sex.

This reminds me of the grunge days where some newspaper called the secretary at SUB POP and she just gave them a bunch of gibberish saying it was cool.

Daisy is a dumbass

Kitty Kitty Kitty Kitty!!

*slurp

I often read these 'Guide to internet speak for parents...' lists and wonder 1) Who keeps making them 2) Who on earth actually uses most of these. 3) How many unnecessary freak outs it has caused

this is BRILLIANT!! parents will be more confused than ever by this utter bollocks!!

this is BRILLIANT!! parents will be more confused than ever by this utter bollocks!!

In a few years kids can take school exams using these abbreviations...
PLEASE DIE !!!

How many parents will read this and misinterpret FB (Facebook) for F**ck Buddy? I want stats people.

Damn straight. I can't wait to see how many freakouts there will be FB.

Also, I agree with what venort said; this list is GENIUS. I can't be sure since I don't go to noob chat rooms, but I doubt at least 75% of these are real.

Though GW is definitely real. I see it all the time.

saying "143" for saying I love You? Really? So now we are robots. Talking in numbers pfft I text all the time and have never said words in numbers.

lol I like #15 and #20 IAYM B!TCH!!!!!

These lists come out every couple of years, and they never fail to make me lol. Ever.

No surprise this came out of Fox. Those aren't the Top 50. They're just the ones most likely to get parents worried that there little girls are raving sex maniacs -- and they are.

Really? Parents need to know if their kids love somebody so they can intervene?

F*** fox news and their bullsh*t conservative views. Like sure, parents should have some control over their kids especially the younger ones, but reading their kids' chat logs and phone messages is an infringement of privacy. Like, maybe it would be acceptable if your kid was ten and was either part of a cocaine trafficking ring or the victim (or a potential victim) of a sexual predator.

I guess that's where alt+F4 comes in handy... and who is a big enough loser anyways to use any of those phrases? Maybe I'm wrong about what i said and stupid little kids and teens using those idiotic abbreviation, slowly slaughtering away at the English language deserve to be caught...

REAL!!!!

This is not a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a real because the shadow's are all correct.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where Max was in a militart experiment and was asleep for many years. When he woke up he was the smartest man alive, and got to serve on the presidents cabinet.

Christ, and i thought the text speak when i was at high school was retarded.

Oh well, planet Earths IQ has dropped another dozen.

Wow. I've never seen something so stupid in my life.

I'm ashamed of my generation.

Wow. I'm 16 and I have actually heard/used maybe 5 of these.
Where the hell are they getting this information ?

Wow, chimmy, you definitely slaughtered the English language in that comment. Proofread much?

And, if any of you believe that half of these are being used by more than say 0.01% of the populations (regardless of age), then you are as delusional as Fox. This is bogus, like all these lists are. If I used anything more than asl, 133t, and GW! in any conversation than it would just confuse people. This seems like mostly chat speak anyway, not text speak. "POS Parent Over Shoulder" (how close are they leaning over your shoulder to read those texts?).

it's almost like a bunch of kids made this up and posted it just to throw parents off... i mean.. a few of them i have personally used before... but i mean.... banana penis? what.. why...

No i didn't proofread... though i didn't make any mistakes other then putting some commas where there shouldn't be... and at a few points there aren't enough commas... do commas really bother you that much, BananaKitty? Or do you need glasses? I'm sorry for using 'like' too many times and not capitalizing my 'i's, if that's what's bothering you.

Sucks that i don't give a sh*t about my comma use, but i agree. I don't use any "internet phrases" less common then 'lol' and 'wtf' personally, and i've never heard of 95% of those (yes, that's mathematically incorrect...) and no one i know uses any of those... and i doubt the rest of the population much different, but that's not the point.

The point is Fox News believes parents should have absolute control over their kids so that they can grow up to driving gas-guzzling SUVs, not let their children be in the same room as the opposite gender with the door shut, and think that Marijuana can kill you and gets you addicted the first time you try it, just like mommy and daddy! What better way to influence your kids then reading their rebellious chat logs and subsequently severing connections that they have with their friends...

Ive only been out of highschool for a year, and i only recognize half or less of these. Damn they come up with new ones fast. But 420? what parent isnt gonna know that one? They were teens once too.

44 PRON Porn

Really, parents had trouble with this one?

Mom "Pron, what do you think it means?"

Dad: "Penis Raping On Nipples?"

GW, 143 when we 420, soo can we GNOC even though PAW with extra banana in my kitty?

OMF Thx FOX 143 > 420

That picture looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Well I for one am boned also. Because I use those exact same acronyms when I text/IM strangers concerning my sexual availability and status. And now my parents can BREAK THE CODE. God damn the informant for being 100% factual.

I think I'll stick with the old-fashioned way of communication. Tapping my toe in a bathroom stall.

Wow, we should start writing down historical events with these stupid abbreviations. That way it will be great fun for future generations as they try to dechipher them.

An earthquake of 5.3 in Los Angeles could read something like:

3rthqu8!!! 5.3nLA! WTF!? bbQ!!11

ROFL @ Banana Penis

omg wat ur u tlking abut dis is tx tlk not dat lod of crap! us tenagrs dn't us nobrs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guys you HAVE to see this!!

http://mystical-mona.mybrute.com

people dont actually use half that crap. im in high school and if i txted that to any1 they'd be like "WTC?" (what the crap?)

me and my friends only occasionally use some of these.

i use 143 and i've heard of some of the others, but anyone who actually uses them is just retarded. In fact, anyone who uses them has probably just seen them on a list warning parents (like this one) and started using these ridiculous codes coz they've seen it here.

btw, i actually know why 143 means i love you. I is one letter, LOVE is four letters, YOU is 3 letters.

182 is really shortened. its short for 1h8u and they just made it even lazier.

#15 on the list of 50 is lol

I think I see a pattern here:
"DoD" isn't... Department of Defense..
"DoD" = Daisy on Drugs!
I get it, I get it !!!

dont be silly parents cant read. or work any thing tech.

o chimmy chimmy. you have much more than just comma errors there - i think perhaps there is an error in your brain? perhaps? maybe? just a little one? a tiny one? maybe a little bigger? perhaps? hmmmmm?

Fox news is a load of crap, obviously. But this is also like that rubbish on US tv - cynical fame whores like Dr Phil would have you believing every 12 y/o is turning tricks from her bedroom. If your kid is really doing that - then "staying on top of text lingo" isn't really going to address the problem. Dumbasses.

FB = Facebook. Duh.

yes, number 15 couldn't be any more true!!!

GO gee-dubs!!!

i like all of the n00bs who think they are pwning on daisy.
:/

remember when we used to use these on early internet chat rooms, because we all sucked at typing... the good ol days.

why does daisy keep referring to other movies in her Never Back Down references? Like for this one, she's actually referring to Idiocracy with Luke Wilson

just...its ridiculous, and of course the pic is fake, you don't have to keep posting it, I mean even tho Geedub is sexy and I wouldn't mind if he boned me(I hope your reading this, I have a t-rex costume if u like lol), its sooo fake...shut up daisy

i don't know, what do you guys think.....who is more annoying? those who win the internet by letting everyone know they got first, or those who make fun of daisy?

The funny thing is that spies have a secret language as well.Which looks similar.

I remember the good ole days in the chat rooms. This new lingo is wack, the only thing i remember asking chicks is if they "wanna go private" or cyber, depending on how I was feeling that day. That's the only line you need

why dont we just say that everyone else except us are retards?

scribbles furiously..... OH so that's what all my 14 year old girlfriends are saying....

LOL @ number 10.. Just.. Banana Penis

Haha, what little old man sits in a dark corner and comes up with these? I find it extremely hard to believe that more than 10 of these are actually in use. Ridiculous, lmao.

You know, I also have to add that the nude club one is really stupid. Am I missing something, or does that number make absolutely no sense in regard to any kind of nude anything club? If your "child" is old enough to be going to a strip club (you know, a legal adult), should you really be worrying about who and what they're texting?

chimmy sound like an angry teenager whose dad wouldn't let him drive the benz. "sorry chimmy" you're still grounded. Listen, parents have to know what is going on in their children's lives. It's much better than the alternative. So stop acting like a spoiled b*tch and suck it up. As soon as you pay for your own sh*t like rent, food and gas, then you can do what you want. Until then be thankful you have parents that give a sh*t.

Must See!!!

---------------------------------------------

I am a parent of a 14 yr old & I monitor his cell and internet use. I don't read his email or his text messages, (I will if I feel I need to) but I do know what sites he is on & how long he is on the phone with who. I also talk to my kid about internet safety and what I expect of him. Now don't get me wrong I am not stupid I know how a kid acts in front of his mom is completely different than how he is with his friends. I trust my boy, he talks to me, if I ask he will tell and he has never given me a reason to doubt him.

I think FOX was crazy to think that this is the need to know list or even that it was accurate. When are they going to post the list of need to know low cost high quality child care or the must join extra curricular activities. I just don't feel the need to be fluent in teen speak. I truly feel if you talk to ur kid I mean talk to them not as a friend but as a parent who remembers what being a teen was like you will be better of then trying to keep up with codes that they will change as soon as they think you are catching on.

dude. nobody says these. ever.

last

txting and reading them simply makes my head spin with all these stupid codes that are making people retarded. I mean language was about correct grammar and all, nowadays even a retard can txt, am not part of that era!

They don't have PIITB!

ive never heard about 97% of those... The real ones? 1337, and A/S/L. and 1337 means Leet, NOT Elite. Why the hell do you think they spelt it 1337? GOD DAMNIT

I've heard of 1337, ASL, and Pron, but the rest are just garbage made up to make parents flip out. I can imagine someone's mom going, "Did you just text the number 8 to someone?? That's it, mister, no more phone for you!"

Seriously, what about ACTUAL texting abbreviations like LOL, ROFL, :), IMHO, WTF, FYI, BYOB, BBQ, etc. etc. etc.... ARGH.

I've pretty much heard of 4 of those. 1337 (elite} , pron (porn), ASL (age/sex/location?), and GW (sexing thing alive) [thought I wouldn't catch that didn't you? Well I DID!]
