Have you ever wondered what it is that your kids are texting to each other? Here's a list of 50 that you need to know. Warning: mature language is being used.

[Azzurri]

I have no clue WTF they’re talking about.

[rednesss]

What about BOHICA????

[rickomatic]

Hmmmm....who knew that Hillary was a Parent Over Shoulder!

[gathersnomoss]

Bend over here it comes again, I presume.

[Bob]

That reminds me of something Petronski said a long time back (about Radio Shack, I think). Didn't you go in there and when the clerk asked for your phone number you said "555-5555" and then, shocked, the salesperson replied "REALLY?!" and you shot back "Yep" or something like that?!

I always tell them that mine is 911-5432. :=)

[null and void]

At least the little nippers are still ignorant to 77...

[Ignatz]

PWNED!

Though it's not an acronym, just a misspelling.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

143 is the # of letters in the word I L-O-V-E Y-O-U

[wildbill]

You’re probably a “maroon”

[Tanniker Smith]

WTF is on the commonly used list, not the “parents need to know” list.

[Tanniker Smith]

but on a phone keypad, "I-L-Y" is "459"

AH! Makes sense. Should've looked at my phone first before posting, I guess. ;-)

[OKSooner]

Bookmark.

a couple of the last installment of Big Brother.

Thanks. Happy to say that I've never watched that show. Thankfully, neither do my children.

[Tanniker Smith]

459 are the numbers on the phone pad for ILY 458 are the numbers on the phone pad for ILU

Y'know, that's one of the things that's crazy about today's kids -- they use "Y" as an abbreviation for "U". Whassup wit dat?

[Tanniker Smith]

Hmmmm....who knew that Hillary was a Parent Over Shoulder!

LOL!

(and I remember when that used to mean "Lots of Luck")

[relictele]

We also used DEU (defective end user)

[Tall_Texan]

One of my IT friends used to tell people there was an “I-D-ten-T error” when dealing with defective end users.

[Grenada]

Ping to self.

[dfwgator]

OGNTSA!

[GOP_Raider]

Well look at it this way: if a parent does find out, instead of grounding the kid, the kid can simply be ZOTTED! :)
