G'day Maureen,

My brain was seeing 'club 8 er'. Didn't make much sense. I don't waste my time trying to learn these sort cuts. I just think of a shorter way to say things.

The girl (with a certain colour hair) asked her friend "What does 'IDK' mean"
Her ffriend replies "I don't know."
Then the first girl said, "Well I guess I'll never find out because no one I've asked seems to know!".

The only one I recall from girlhood is SWALK and that's been around for many years.

Maureen 2 yy's U R, 2yy's UB, I c u r 2yy's 4 me

Hi Zondrae, Yes I remember SWALK as well, here is another one you might remember H.O.L.L.A.N.D, There were others as well, but we used to write love letters in those days didn't we, no texting or email

Information overload Maureen. It's code for confuse your parents.
