Totally Tracie: Popular Text Acronyms That I Don’t Know

This morning Eric and I were reading a message on Facebook.  Our faces must have looked troubled as we could not decide what the acronym meant.  After struggling with it, we turned to Dan The Man for the answer.  If a picture can say a thousand words, then Dan's face could have spoken volumes.  He was clearly disgusted by our lack of texting lingo.  We started discussing different acronyms such as "lol" or "bff", you know the easy ones.  But when Dan started throwing out some harder ones, we were clearly confused.

Here is what we came up with:

Acronym       Tracie's translation          Eric's translation                    Real Translation

Wow, Eric and I clearly need to take a class or something.  Give us a chance, Dan.  We can only get better...I hope we can't get any worse.
