No matter what age you are, everyone is doing it.
Er,… texting, that is.
So, yesterday it was brought to my attention that us ‘oldies’ have our own text chat abbreviations.
None of this ‘LOL laughing out loud’, or BRB ‘be right back’ rubbish. Ours is more sophisticated.
So, without further ado, I give you:
TEXT CHAT FOR THE OLDIES
ATD – At The doctors
BFF – Best Friends Funeral
BTW – Bring The Wheelchair
FWIW – Forget Where I Was
GGPBL – Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low
GHA – Got Heartburn Again
HGBM – Had Good Bowel Movement
IMHO – Is My Hearing Aid On?
WAITT – Who Am I Talking To?
GGLKI – Gotta Go, Laxatives Kicking In
IPMSA – I’ve Pissed Myself Again.
So, now it’s your turn. Have I missed any out?
If you want more of me, try checking out Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Goodreads, Klout, BranchOut and Linkedin
Crikey you must be a lot older than your photograph suggests!! I would have thought you were more
GGPNF….gotta go people need feeding.
AMWINSB…Ask me when I’m not so busy.
JBGA….Just been goosed again
GIHTT..God I hate the tube
PTW ..Pass the wine
PTT..Pass the tissues…for those rom com moments!!
AHF..Another hot flush!
GCL ..George Clooney lookalike
THAKM ..These heels are killing me.
All the best

I’m terrible at abbreviations. I write out everything in my texts and yes, I proof them for typos. These are super funny, though! I wish I could remember them.
