Yeah, I think some of those might have been made up by kids just trying to throw off their parents!

I've used lol, g2g, bbl, and other basic acronyms like that...and of course lmao, stfu, rofl, etc. Then again, I've never used the Internet to try and get a girlfriend...so those innuendos just sound stupid to me.

Lol... People are just paranoid, it's kind of sad really..There is 10000x more chance of you getting mugged by sitting at your pc and looking at a blank screen than there is of someone coming to stalk you down and kill you... Kids just need to be taught : #1 : If meeting someone from internet,meet with friends and don't give very personal details. #2 : Don't be stupid and post your address online... But parents watching out for suspicious acromyns and trying to learn "1337 5p34k" is going to far..Everyone needs to relax.. the internet is safer than your house! Just my opinion

It's not paranoia. It's parenting in the 21st century. Besides, S2K folks could use it as a primer in forum communications:

It has its benefits.
