Well, well, you surprise me for your age. Usually the masses understand each other's lingo but it looks like you are a fine exception (which is a compliment)!

I usually turn to www.urbandictionary.com to figure out their alien speak.

[b]otp[/b]: on the phone
[b]wtk[/b]: want to know
[b]bfgf[/b]: boyfriend/girlfriend (relationship)
[b]fwt[/b]: f*cking waste of time
[b]omw[/b]: on my way/oh my word
[b]dftw[/b]: done for the week

I know a guy who hangs out with morons like that and he's become seriously dumb, up to such a level that he can't even follow what I'm saying; I have to say everything in slow motion which is super annoying.

Welcome to a generation of idiots.. I sincerely hope you will become one of the intelligent ones.

I understand it, through many forcing it upon me, but I still think most of it is stupid. I'm long winded and I like it that way.

Well otp stands for one true pairing. It's used for "shipping" two fictional (and sometimes not fictional) characters together. Never heard of the others

I don't even understand what shipping is supposed to mean.. I feel stupid XD
Drdirt · 26-30, F
it's when they pretend the characters do naughty things with each other
@Existentior: ok I put that together, and, lol. I'm just going to pretend both things you guys wrote are innocent, I always think of the dirty stuff.
@DancingStarGoddess: It was meant as dirty.
@Existentior: then I read it right, lol. Cheers

I try to desyphire my teenage sons text messages. When I highlight a word and put a ? Next to the sentence he replies I know. So I still don't know.

I hate when they say totes. Totes are fucking bags. Not short for totally. Lazy bastards.
