OMG

The dating scene of the Millenials:
Boy: "UR DDG! DYW2GOWM?"
Girl: "DKDC"
Boy: "FBTW"

Interpretation for us old fogies (Gen X & Gen Y) who stick to full sentences:
Boy: "You're drop-dead gorgeous! Do you want to go out with me?"
Girl: "Don't know, don't care"
Boy: "Fine, be that way."

(examples and interpretation, courtesy of Stanford Business School case on IMVU. Exhibit 5)

I thought Second Life was revolutionary. But this! Who could have thought that one could communicate so much with such parsimony?
