Also, bfn=Bye For Now, ttc=Trying To Conceive

Edit – Jarrod – what’s wrong with someone over 20 sending texts? If I’m at work and I have no privacy, there’s nothing wrong with me being ‘old’ and doing it. I happen to be quite proficient with my texting and in the past week got worldwide attention (granted it was a puff piece) by winning a text competition plus a nice check which I received in the mail today. I don’t hang out in chat rooms, I don’t use T9, I spell out my words for the most part and when I do abbreviate it’s saying something like ‘bck’ instead of ‘back’ and I don’t think I’m ‘cool’ because I can text fast. Don’t judge.

Edit – Jarrod – I stand corrected. I did read your answer incorrectly. I was thinking that you were saying that adults shouldn’t text, you were saying they shouldn’t shorten words. Sorry to get defensive. I don’t use abbreviations such as ttyl, ttfn, etc.

Here is a site with all the common meanings.

BFN: by for now

The only one i couldnt find is ttc, I have never seen that one before, sorry 🙁

I did notice that FTW is missing: For the Win

Edit: Beth, i didnt judge, i simply stated that no adult should be shortening text messages, there is no reason for it. This is a false belief that your makin your life easier, and in all reality your just making someone elses life harder. If you’re going to text, then text the whole word. the time it takes to type out talk to you later on a cell phone in T9 is just a millisecond longer than it is to type ttyl on abc

I also did point out that was was 20 sending over 3000 a month. I’m thinking you should reread my answer.

Edit: Beth it happens 🙂

rofl = roll on floor laughing

ttyl = talk to you later

ttfn = ta ta for now

tmi = too much information

lol = laugh out loud

nm = not much

ly = love ya

ppl = people

bc = because

hope these help!!

ps. it doesn’t really matter to be in on the crowd, the only reason some people use these are bc it makes it faster and easier to type or text message~
