My favorite ad right now is the Cingular "bff Jill" commercial where the mother is totally lost in translation as her daughter bombards her with acronyms like:
OMG; BFF; IDK; TISNF.
These are a few that many of us know. But 'on the real', every now and then your 'too cool for school' nieces/nephews and cousins may say something that really throws you. Instead of asking for clarification which will totally date you, check out the Urban Dictionary.

I'm a Novice
I only started the whole IM thing for work a couple of years ago and now it seems that text messaging is the "in' thing for communicating via cell phones so I'm slowly attempting to learn but 'tis difficult when you'd rather just spell the darn words out! So far I only have BFF, TGIF (this is really from childhood TV-viewing) and on to learning TTYL.
