Urban Lingo
LIFESTYLE FEATURE
Posted in July 2010
"OMFG.. im n luv wid dis gurl"
"Are you retarded? Gurl isn't even short for anything. You just spelled it wrong for the sake of being a dumbass. You need to ditch the ebonics."
Communication among most of the typical youngsters today goes this way. This kinda lingo is the hot stuff at this moment. Of late, our metropolitan youth totally adapted this crazzy slang. The language has more to do with context and content, than with the verbosity.
No rulezz..! The slang doesn't care grammar n syntax.
Focus is just on carryover of info.
The slang uses f*nky articulates and mostly shortcuts.
Greeting “Howz u?” need not follow Wren and Martin's High School English Grammar Book.
ASAP couldn’t be a word by itself as it came as a simple substitute for As Soon As Possible.
4Q, WTF, BITFOB
4Q is no way related to forks and WTF has nothing to do with World Trade Center.. and BITFOB is not a sequel to BITSAT. These words are purely offensive expressions, cut short.
Here are some crazy shortcuts
LOL= Laugh out loud / lots of love
ROFL= Roll on the floor laugh
BS= Bull shit
Gr8= Great
FYI= For Your Information
G2g= Got to go
Brb= Be right back
TTYL= Talk to you later
The Y2k not only set off a new century but also surging internet reach as well. And so was the mobile usage.
Instant Messaging on the net, texting thru mobilezz needed crispness.
Thus evolved a smarter choice…
This slowly turned out 2 b a distinct jargon.
Corporate culture chipped in for the lingo.
The globalization n western impact also played a key here.
Yup nope, kewl, chweet, done with, guys, buddies
On the flip side, analysts are on their feet warning that urban lingo, on the whole, could result in people’s growing ignorance of proper grammar and punctuation. So, mind it!
