It included terminology such as…

  • Sugarpic: sexy photo
  • NALOPKT: Not a lot of people know that
  • Zerg: Gang up on someone
  • MOS: Mum over shoulder

Do youths actually use these abbreviations? Unlikely.

Well, a new meme has rightfully emerged taking the piss out of adults attempting to guess what their teens are texting about.

It’s delightful

There are so many variations

Each as ridiculous as the next
