Most of us are familiar with the abbreviated words and phrases finding their way into the electronic messaging vernacular (e.g., BFF, LOL, OMG). Well, what if these abbreviations do not fulfill your e-messaging needs. Heaven forbid you actually have to type out an entire word. In the interest of expanding the e-messaging lexicon, I’ve decided to infuse the world with “new” e-message abbreviations of old-timey twenties era slang. These abbreviations will also help those dapper fellas cryogenically frozen in the twenties and defrosted in today’s world to communicate with modern day Janes (i.e., women). Hot Dawg!!
