2. GNOC. CD9. CICYHW. If you
monitor your teen’s texts or
occasionally pick up his or her
phone, you might see a
plethora of mysterious
acronyms, occasionally mixed
with numbers and symbols. If
they weren’t interspersed with
“U” (for “you”) and other
commonly-known typing
shortcuts, one might think the
conversation was about some
advanced school project. But
knowing this generation,
you’ve probably gathered that
these acronyms stand for
words.
You may shake your head at
the silliness. How hard is it to
spell out a word? But shortcut
texting is here to stay for three
reasons:
It’s fast. In today's age of
instant gratification, teens
expect their peers to send
and receive texts
immediately, no matter what
they are doing. Acronyms are
a tool that helps them deliver
their message even faster.
It’s a language. Acronyms
have been used since the
days of number pad texting,
long enough that many have
developed connotations.
Small variations carry widely
different meanings that are
important to teens.
It’s covert. Teens are naturally
secretive, moreso if they know
they're being inappropriate.
Acronyms like GNOC (Get
naked on camera) and LH6
(Let's have sex) require some
interpreting, leaving parents in
the dark.

3. “Text-talk” could be used for
trash talk between peers,
which is bad enough. But
worse, they could be used to
hide conversations with a
stranger who could be a
predator. LMIRL means “Let’s
meet in real life.” RU/18 is a
quick way to ask, “Are you over
18?” LH6: “Let’s have sex.”
These are just a few examples
of potentially dangerous texts
you might see on your teen’s
phone.
As a parent, you need to know
what slang terms mean.
Unless you’re up-to-date on
the latest “teen-talk,” you
might not be able to tell
whether your teen’s
conversations are innocent or
sneaky.
