Ever wondered what the younger generation are on about?
Liked this useful aide-memoire from the Daily Mirror. Rather disappointed there isn't a TIC '"tongue in cheek" which I would find most useful. Are there any other glaring omissions?
LOL Often mistaken for “lots of love” but is “laugh out loud”. OMG “oh my god”. ILY Careful on this one, it means “I love you”. TBH “to be honest”. TBT “Throwback Thursday”. TMI “too much information”. IKR When you, like, totally know what someone’s talking about - “I know, right”. IDC “I don’t care”. NSFW “not safe for work” FTW “for the win”, meaning something is good (or really bad if you’re being sarcy). IMO “in my opinion”. OMW “on my way”. LMAO The extreme cousin of LOL, this is “laughing my ass off”. FOMO “fear of missing out”. JOMO “joy of missing out”. TLDR For the more long-winded, things may be “too long, didn’t read”. AFAIK Sit right on the fence with this one – “as far as I know”. IYSWIM Nope, nothing to do with your swimming ability, “if you see what I mean”. SMH Tutting by text, it’s “shaking my head”. BFF This one spawned an array of merchandise aimed at “best friends forever”. BTW Just as an aside, this is “by the way” IRL “in real life. HBD “happy birthday”. HMU Want someone to get in touch? Then you’re asking them to “hit me up”. PPL When in doubt, remove all the vowels - this means “people”. OOTD “outfit of the day”. AMA Could be a dangerous statement... “ask me anything”. NM Usually the answer when you ask someone what they’re up to – “not much”. NVM Abbreviation of a placation - “never mind”. JK Use to avoid offence – “just kidding” or “joke”. NGL “not gonna lie”. YOLO Turns out James Bond was wrong, “you only live once”. OFC This is simply short for “of course”. BRB Like the shop sign – “be right back”. GTG Or not, with “got to go”. AML For someone special, this is “all my love”. WYD? “What you doing” ATM “at the moment” NBD “no big deal”. TIL “today I learned”. KK You’d think “OK” was already short enough, but KK means the same. Just don’t add another one... K Also means “OK” but usually used if someone is annoyed with whoever they send it to. NTS “Note to self”, stop using abbreviations. PDA For smooching couples on the bus having a “public display of affection”. ICYMI “in case you missed it”. WTF Impolite version of “what the fudge” – to show shock or confusion.

Missed off “ATM”
If it's in the Mirror I can't help thinking the youth will have moved on to other slang.
I was out at dusk with JJ walking through a farmers field when he must have spooked one settling down for the night. It frightened the fecking life out of me and him, the pair of us took off like scolded cats only to look back and see what it was and slow down like people do when they miss a bus!
Have client meeting/site visit in Glasgow today and bumped into my brother in law at City Airport who was also going up there for work on the same flight.
Was planning to do a tour of Hampden park this afternoon but have managed to get the meeting finished fairly quickly and am meeting him for a long boozy lunch at a steak house instead.

Not a fan of foxes but driving to 5 a side tonight and turn right out of the Barnehurst shops and come to a stop. Up ahead at the zebra crossing I see a fox waiting on the pavement and with a queue of cars now stopped, it makes its way across the zebra crossing, turns right and carries on down the road.

DHOTY.
I know it's hard to believe but I really do still play 5 a side.

Being asked today to be the assessor for the charity our dogs represent. Chuffed to bits, our dogs earlier today when we popped into a local pets store posing for photos. They've built quite a little fan club locally amongst the youngsters.
It made me smile this morning to read of the Kiwi reaction to the obstreperous English family touring their land. They had it seemed upset many locals and left a whole host of low level crime in their wake.
Police and immigration officials simply deported them, whilst the mayor of Auckland summed up the situation perfectly, "What a bunch of arseholes." How refreshingly simple and to the point.

Got an email today saying I've got tickets for me and the wife to see the third day of the England v Ireland Test at Lords. Brilliant. Just hope it gets to day 3 given how quickly the Windies beat England today! Really looking forward to it and to having great craic with the Irish fans. It'll be deadly.
