CHAT ROOMS - LANGUAGE

This was posted by a colleague Tony (Trixo) on the Business Warrior site (www.businesswarriors.co.za).

First came the new language that they used on cellphones when doing the sms thing (I have yet to even try and do the predictive text thing - far too much PT in my opinion) and now we have the 'chat room' language. Takes being be-lingual to a whole different meaning! Although why we would have to reserve, "BTASRTHOS! = Better Than A Slap 'Round The Head On Sunday" for Sunday's only begs the obvious question! What happens if I get the urge to slap you around the head on a Tuesday - would that become BTASRTHOT? And then what would happen if I wanted to slap you on a Thursday?
Or what about "ROTFLPIMK = Rolling On The Floor Pis... In My Kilt". Why would anyone want to roll around the floor peeing in their kilt? Why anyone would want to role around the floor peeing in anything for that matter would be natural question. I guess the youth of today are not sure when it is that they need to pee, so they have to roll around the floor first to find out and then they just pee in whatever it is that they happen to be wearing at the time. What if I was in a mini skirt (not a good idea to get to a mental picture of this, just for the record), I guess that would then become ROTFLPIMMS or my hot pants - would become ROTFLPIMHP!
Just as well I have a case of CRAFT disease (can't remember a fu$*&ng thing) because trying to commit this to my memory would surely cause an overload of sorts, a definite short circuit and a malfunction for sure!
Have fun people!
