    Thinking about putting this in a text message is a good sign that you shouldn't be sending that in a text message in the first place.

    Oh, I love it. Every year or so, an article like this circulates to keep soccer moms in their late 30s in the loop with the lingo their kids aren't using.

    For fuck's sake, I haven't even heard of anything on this list besides FWIW, they can't be that widespread.

    No matter what specific cutesy text-abbreviation is in play, the translation is always the same: "I'm so trendy I breath atomized douche from a modified cappucino maker."
