abbrevs

what's with everyone 'abbreving' lately? i am guilty of it. some of us take it a little far, and others sneak in the odd abbrev here and there that often goes unnoticed.

be back in a sec- no biggie. most people say it....we all understand it.
I'm gonna grab some more wads- without context this makes no sense....did you know that 'wads' is water?
whatevs- this one many of us use....don't deny it....this is where i believe the 'abbreving' went to a new level.

is there a rule with this new slang? certain words you can 'abbrev' and others you can't? we even change things from 'best friends' to 'besties'.....how is it that we even understand that? where did this all start?

i notice when people abbrev and when i abbrev it is most often intentional. whatevs, i like it.

  1. I'll be the first to admit that I definately don't understand some abrevs that ppl use. I hate it. I feel so out of the loop.
