travis' brain dump

FYI – some of the current acronyms kids use these days.  Some are definitely new to me and some I actually find very disturbing. Figured this merited it’s own post seeing as how we were on the subject of Acronyms earlier. 🙂

Some commonly used Acronyms by kids on the net today:

ASL – Age/Sex/Location – been around since the dawn of the internet. LOL
MorF – Male or Female – you just added a letter to your typing when it is resolved with ASL easily.
SorG – Straight or Gay – Give me a break
MOOS – Member of Opposite Sex – what would you need to use that one for?!
LMIRL – Let’s Meet In Real Life – so you’re not in real life already?
ADR – Address – I remember when we used ADDR… kids are so lazy these days, lol
WYCM – Will You Call Me – Ok, that’s a new one on me.
KFU – Kisses For You – And another
NALOPKT – Not A Lot Of People Know This – what are you lazy!? Just type that out!

POS – Parents Over Shoulder (I remember something different, I *must* be getting old)
PIR – Parents In Room
P911 – Parent Alert
PAW – Parents Are Watching
PAL – Parents Are Listening
KPC – Keeping Parents Clueless
TD2M – Talk Dirty To Me
IWSN – I Want Sex Now
NIFOC – Nude In Front of Computer
GYPO – Get Your Pants Off

For the record, I catch one of my kids using any of these P Acronyms or other devious ones like the ones listed above, I’ll disable their internet privleges permanently. There is NO REASON they should be having conversations which require the use of one of those. 
 

You have got to be kidding me! This is a prime example of how incredibly melodramatic people have become this day in age. It’s a freakin license plate people. It’s made up of letters and numbers put together in a sequence to create a unique identifier for vehicles. It’s not intended or should be construed as anything more.

RALEIGH, NC — Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive “WTF” letter combination can replace the tags for free.

Internet Acronyms Parents Should Know

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday the state Division of Motor Vehicles has notified nearly 10,000 holders of license plates with the letter combination.

Officials learned last year the common acronym stands for a vulgar phrase in e-mail and cell phone text messages.

The DMV recently realized the same letters appeared on the sample license plate on its own Web site. Officials are trying to remove the plate from the site.

DMV officials got word of the plates last July when a 60-year-old technology teacher from Fayetteville complained about the plate after her teenage grandchildren clued her in.

DMV officials said they try to keep up with the latest acronyms, and that anyone who has an issue with their plate can contact their local DMV office to request a new one.

*rolls eyes* What next? I mean c`mon folks, relax a little. Are you so uptight you have to look for things that are offensive so you have something to complain about?
