Get Grandma on IM!
In a dual effort to drag more gossipy old ladies online and to breathe some new life into the kids' IM lingo, I've spent a great deal of development and expensive computer time coming up with a new batch of IM little acronym thingies based on classic old-lady speak. By now I imagine we're all about ready to open our wrists if we have to read another lol, rotfl, imho, brb, or even lmfao.
So, here's a new batch of these strings of letters, guaranteed to please jaded IMer and old biddy alike!
mw: my word
win: well, I never!
htb: heavens to betsey!
wibamu: well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
imr: I mean, really!
yds: You don't say!
gg: Goodness gracious! (alt: good grief)
gh: Good heavens!
tle: The living end
itp: Isn't that precious?
cis: Charmed, I'm sure
n: No! (scandalized)
