Init - Isn't it

Blood/Blud - A person

 

Specifically, a person who is a very close friend (blood brother). Replaces the Ali G "me homies."

 

Amusing moment on the 73 bus: group of schoolboys get on in posh looking uniform (blazers, stripy ties) and make for the back seats. They're all obviously quite well off lads but are making a real effort to sound street, resulting in one of them coming out with the immortal words: "eeeeeey, 'as ya done ya latin 'omework, blud?"

 

You'll have to imagine the glottal stop in "Latin."

 

I really did ROFL at that one!

 

The other day DD texted me thus:- "I will be back at like 5 " I could not believe that she had gone to the trouble to actually text "like". When I took the mickey she was mortified that she had done it!

I never use text speak when texting or on facebook. Sometimes i can't understand peoples posts on facebook at all and it drives me nuts!!! What on earth is bizzle supposed to mean??? I have no problem with language evolving but to me it all sounds a bit ridiculous.

Bizzle as in "see you in a bizzle" - see you in a bit.

Lewis- me and my friends do that too! Infact, Merope's favourite thing to say is "in a bizzle *head nod* " which means - I'll see you later - ok?

Oh dear...

My daughter sent me a text the other day but sent it to the house phone! The automated message reading the text was very interesting. She couldn't believe it couldn't undertand text talk!!!

I have all my nieces FB updates sent directly to my mobile phone, as their parents never go on computers, so somebody has to be watching what they are up to on there .

 

I use Lol and Rofl, but sometimes after trying to follow their status updates and what their friends write, I wish I could flush all the 'likes' out of my head .

 

Can't wait for this phase to pass, or will the next part be even worse .

My DD says 'like' at the end of virtually every sentence - drives me absolutely barmy

 

Half the time I can't understand ES's text, I often have to text him back to ask him to translate. Often he can't even be bothered to text ok so will do k instead!

It used to really annoy me when seeing text talk in essays or answers to exam questions. These were not ordinary youngsters - they were medical students, and therefore had extremely good A Level grades just to get in.

 

Text speak has its place, and I use it too. What is sad is that some people are unable to distinguish when it is, and when it is not, appropriate to use it. There also seems to be a general tendency to using less punctuation and fewer capital letters, even when writing full English, possibly because these require the use of two, rather than one, button when texting on the phone.

I hate text speak too and will always text back using correct English, not that anyone gets much more than one word texts from me anyhow - I much prefer to talk to people.

Teenagers have always had their own coded languages to help them feel different from adults. What I cannot abide is getting texts from people in their mid-20s and older who still write in major amounts of text speak - not just the odd rofl or lol. It's so common and unintelligible, and it's not even as if text speak is old enough and developed enough to have been their main mode of communication when they were younger. It's just so lazy and feels like trying to understand someone talking without using any consonants (which is funny because it's the opposite - no vowels most of the time).
