    But I am sure that is not what you are meaning by it.
    haha that's true, never even thought of that actually!!

      Do you ever use the computer slang (guess that's what you call it) BTW? I'm asking 'cause I'm just curious if that is an American slang as well.

      Here's some common ones I know, just for examples:

      addy: address

      cuz: because

      d00d: dude

      h4x: WATCH OUT FOR THIS ONE!!! "hacks," or what a computer hacker does.

      joo/j00 & u: you

      kewl: cool

      m4d sk1llz or mad skills: Refers to one's own talent. "m4d" itself is often used for emphasis.

      n00b, noob, newbie, or newb: new user ("n00b" is usually an insult & "newbie" is a more kind term for new users.

      ph: replaces "f" examples: "phear"...for "fear"...or a more elaborate one... "phat" which stands for "pretty hot and tempting."

      peeps: people

      pic: picture

      prolly/probs/probly: "Probably"

      roxx0rs: rocks (that rocks!) means that's impressive.

      sig: signature

      w00t: yay or woo-hoo!

      Thats all I can think of for now.

      • well, as adventure said, btw stands for: belasting toegevoegde waarde; taxation added value, which is just a 'slang' (if i explained the word well) for stuff you buy in the store, something like that. i use slangs for stuff on messenger in dutch, but there aren't any really common ones, but most of the slangs i use are for saying goodbye or if you like someone, like this ones:
        nwly: never wanna lose you
        wjnmk: wil je niet meer kwijt (same as above but in dutch)
        hvj: hou van jou (love you)

        and the rest i use are just as i pronounce them (mostly in my dialect)

        • Text messaging on cellphones is so popular in America. I think the next generation won't be able to write in complete sentences because just about every word has a slang/shortened version. lol

            • yeah w/ is "with"....w/o is "without"... b/c is "because." They are actually very old "Shorthand" English abbreviations, rather than slangs.

                    • You're welcome! Englishcan be such a weird language to get used to because it is forever picking up new slangs. It makes those trying to learn it have a difficult time. I also speak fluently in American Sign Language...that too has it's own slangs used only among the deaf which makes it even more difficult if you speak both... to keep up and not switch over. lol!
