SMS Lingo Decoder for Parent


I pimp at the pix u sent i got more 4yeo but paw so sending l8r po.
If you saw that text pop up on your kid's phone, would you worry? We would too, so we created a cheat sheet to some of the most popular texting lingo -- from the “simple” to the “wow, that took some creative thinking.” Know this stuff and maybe you'll worry less -- and hey, maybe it could open the language barrier between you and your kid. Look, I’m not saying it will make you c%l, but at least you won’t be such a noob.
