    • 1). Give a status update regarding your travel plans by texting OMW, or "on my way." Use BRB to let someone know you'll "be right back" or G2G when you "got to go."

    • 2). Warn friends of parental intrusion by texting CD9 for "code 9," which means parents linger nearby. Type PAW when "parents are watching" or POS when a "parent over shoulder" invades your privacy.

    • 3). Text LOL, or "laugh out loud" to express happy feelings. Use ROTFL if you're "rolling on the floor laughing" or very amused.

    • 4). Speed up the texting process by shortening words such as "feel" to "fel" or "need" to "ned." Leave out repeated letters when the context of the message can still be understood with the lingo word.

    • 5). Abbreviate words with single letters or numbers when possible. Use "8" or the word "ate" or "r" for "are." Substitute "U" for "you."
