Like OMG...LOL!!

As most of you know I spend some time at the public schools interacting with students on a daily basis. Today was no different from any other day, except that I had a little down time while I was waiting for some kids. I was sitting next to a group of girls and this was their conversation...
"Like, OMG, can you believe that teacher! She was so rude!"
"LOL, I can't believe you got kicked out of class again."

I am pretty up to date on the texting business, I send an occasional text myself, however the more I thought about this converstaion the funnier it got. When I was a teenager and I thought something was funny, I laughed out loud, but these teens resisted that urge and instead said "LOL" Teens today speak in code...so much code that I don't even begin to understand. So in an effort to become more hip and in the know, I did a little research on text messaging abbreviations. Here are some of my favorites...

YTG--Your the greatest...this is what I will be telling my husband when he makes dinner.

JAM--Just a minute...this is what I will be telling my kids when I am trying to go potty in private and their need for a snack is more important than my need to relieve myself.

MNC--Mother nature calls--pretty self explanitory

YWHNB--Yes, we have no bananas--my reason for going to the grocery store

KUTGW--Keep up the good work--What I will be telling my students at school

YYSSW--Yeah Yeah Sure Sure Whatever--What I will be saying when my students at school tell me that are all caught up and getting straight A's

WDALYIC--Who died and left you in charge?...This is the code I will use for someone being extremely bossy...if I say this to you, I am sure I don't mean it...

WOMBAT--Waste of money, brains, and time...What I am currently thinking about my decision to go back to school.

UDS--Ugly domestic scene...This code will be used to describe my house on a daily basis.

TNSTAAFL--There's no such thing as a free lunch...I'm not entirely sure when to use this...but I am SCHID that there is even a code for that...(See below for definition of SCHID)

SMHID--Scratching my head in disbelief--This is the code I am using to describe the fact that there are literally hundreds of uncracked codes left to be researched on http://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/textmessageabbreviations.asp

SNERT--Snot nosed egotistical teenager--Well with my job I'm sure I will find a good time to use this one.

and my all time favorite...

SWMBO--She who must be obeyed...I am thinking of having my children refer to me by this instead of mom, who knows I may get more results!!
