Great List of Texting Acronyms

by Laura on May 5, 2009

Thanks for returning!

Being a mom, usually I am the one getting asked “what does this mean“. Now it is me asking my kids “what does this mean“. I did not know LOL meant laugh out loud. I thought LOL meant Lots of Love.

So I figured it was time to learn some acronyms that I could safely use.

I have put a list together of some of what I think are the best and most used acronyms for texting, emailing and such. But, hey, that is just me. Send me your best acronyms so we can update the list.

It has been fun seeing a new language. I definitely would rather hear my husband and kids voices but I love the little love notes too!
