Texting Lingo- What does LOL mean?
What does it all mean?
So, we have all been there. You're on Facebook, or you recieve a text from a friend, only to realize that you have no clue what they are talking about. You may get the gist of what there trying to communicate to you, but there may be a random word or phrase that you are not familiar with. Then when we ask, "What does that mean?", you get the look. You know the look I'm talking about, almost as if to say "How lame are you?". Well, this has been happening more frequently with todays technological conversations (don't feel too bad!!).So many people have found themselves in this position. This is an easy way to get the translations without the embarassment of having to ask. Here is a list of the most used Lingo out there, and the translations!
