I had to learn to text message in self defense...my Granddaughter does texting at the speed of lightening. She never answers her phone, so I had to learn to text to communicate with her. Sometimes it takes me a few minutes to read what she has texted to me, because she uses so much texting lingo. OMG (Oh My Goodness) it makes me crazy. Some days it makes me LMAO (Laugh My Ars Off) other days it DMC (Drives Me Crazy). Some days I totally text to her using texting lingo just to make her laugh. She says Granny you are TF (Too Funny). The following are a few of the texting lingo terms you might need to know if you are texting.

Do you have any favorite texting lingo?
I cannot bring myself to use most of these, although I do say LOL. But I used to supervise college students and their emails to me were nearly indecipherable!
