Indexing Teen Messages?
September 7, 2015
If you are reading teens’ SMS messages, you may need a lexicon of young speak. The UK Department of Education has applied tax dollars to help you decode PAW and GNOC. The problem is that the http://parentinfo.org/ does not provide a link to the word list. What is available is a link to Netlingo’s $20 list of Internet terms.
Maybe I am missing something in “P999: What Teenage Messages Really Mean?”
For a list of terms teens and the eternally young use, check out these free links:

I love it when “real journalists” do not follow the links about which they write. Some of these folks probably find turning on their turn signal too much work as well.
