USA Weekend printed an excerpt from this list. However, the source of the article is
Netlingo.com. And the fuuny (Sad, really) thing is that the ones that are listed in USA Weekend are probably the only ones on the list suitable for a family publication, so check out that list.
The ones that get me are the numbers.
Okay, I know what 420 is, and I can figure that 182 is I hate you because "eight two" rhymes with "hate you".
However, can someone explain the source of 143 and 459 as meaning "I love you"?

I don’t know about these, but when I’m in a store and the clerk asks for my zip code, I tell them 90210 which rhymes with ‘No. Don’t Want You To Know’. Some get it. Most don’t.

"However, can someone explain the source of 143 and 459 as meaning "I love you"?" Not sure about the "143" but on a phone keypad, "I-L-Y" is "459"

“I love you”=143=the number of letters in the phrase.

143...
If you type <3, that’s a heart, so I’m sure the 1 means “I” and the 4 is easier to text on a phone than a <, so there’s the angle needed to complete the heart.
....On a similar note, I find I have to visit Urban Dictionary.com a lot to figure out some of the teens’ lingo. Usually the word is harmless but some make you blush.

I dunno, but if I caught any kid of mine using phrases like “hugh,” “series,” “Hugh Manatee,” or “ping Arthur McGowan” I’d know the little nipper was a FReeper. What could possibly be worse?

IIRC, 143 meaning “I love you” comes from the number of letters in each word, and came to common knowledge via Nick & Danielle, a couple of the last installment of Big Brother.

In the future, not only will our attention spans shorten to the that of a squirrel’s, we will also lose our ability to comprehend complex language.
