Parent involvement key to keeping kids safe online. These days, kids let their fingers do the talking, instant messaging or texting their "BFF's" at any time of the day or night.
BFF is "best friend forever" in Internet shorthand.
...
Do you know what "POS" means in kid lingo? That's "parent over shoulder." Don't worry, the three dads we asked didn't know either.
We stumped another mom with "ASL." That's "age-sex-location," a phrase swapped liberally throughout the Internet when strangers meet.

A family friend had thought that LOL stood for Lots of Love. So she would send inexplicable messages to people like “So sorry about your loss LOL”

"I always thought POS meant something else" Same here. I thought it was an abbreviation for Obama.

If your kids are using MOST of those acronyms you have already failed as a parent. The only kids that use those are slutty girls and creepy guys.
If you find your girls using those codes...congrats, your daughter is a slut. But you knew that already didn’t you!
That is total Red Pill truth. At this point, if you are a parent and your daughter is texting that, the best hope you have is to just keep her "off the pole" at this point.

This should have come with a ‘don’t drink while reading’ DDWR warning. Really funny. Thanks...

It is funny but true. And furthermore to your point, despite the shrieks of feminists, men do not respect sluts. So don't be a slut. And if you want to get married or be taken seriously by others, don't be a slut. This is true even as we get older. I am divorced now and dating again, and the same truisms about dating sluts that we hear in our teen and college years are still true when we are older.
I am a pioneer in slut shaming.
