Since we are on the topic of “reading between the lines,” in that very same issue of Parents there was a list of online chat abbreviations. Of course, the moms on this site are hip and already know what they mean. ;-)

BF -- Boyfriend or Best Friend
GF -- Girlfriend
BRB -- Be Right Back
H&K -- Hugs and Kisses
IRL -- In Real Life
JIC -- Just In Case
JK -- Just Kidding
NP -- No Problem
OMG -- Oh My Gosh
P911 -- Parent Alert
POS -- Parent Over Shoulder
TMI -- Too Much Information
TTYL -- Talk To You Later
G2G -- Gotta Go
LOL -- Laugh Out Loud
L8R -- Later

Consider these abbreviations to your child a red flag, according to Parents:

A/S/L -- Age/Sex/Location
MORF -- Male or Female?
PM -- Private Message

These lists seemed kind of short. What other abbreviations would you add? G2G!
