Some Smart Sod...
Seeing as I am *coff* 97 *coff* years old, some smart sod saw fit to email me the following - thought it was hilarious (maybe my age who knows) so I thought I would share...
SENIOR TEXTING CODES
Since all the "kids" have all their little codes... like BFF, WTF, LOL, etc. here are some codes for seniors:
ATD- At the Doctor's
BFF- Best Friends Funeral
BTW- Bring the Wheelchair
BYOT- Bring Your Own Teeth
CUATSC- See You at the Senior Centre
FWIW- Forgot Where I Was
FYI- Found Your Insulin
GGPBL- Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low
GHA- Got Heartburn Again
HGBM- Had Good Bowel Movement
IMHO- Is My Hearing-Aid On?
LMDO- Laughing My Dentures Out
LOL- Living on Lipitor
OMSG- Oh My! Sorry, Gas
ROFL...CGU- Rolling on the Floor Laughing...Can't get Up!
WAITT- Who Am I Talking To?

hah, nice.
This is very amusing.
Everybody knows LOL is not one of those "kid codes", but a Finnish showing of empathy, made up for elderly people. It's hard to explain in English, so I'll just use this conversation from a nursing home's TV-room as an example:
"Old person 1: My friend just died
Old person 2: LOL
Old person 3: lol, that's horrible
Old person 4: I'm sorry
Old person 5: LOL
Old person 6: lol, hopefully he didn't suffer."
Ok, now that I'm through explaining that, I'm going back to being sick.

Kid codes? I really hate when people automatically assume only kids use "codes" like that. I know for a fact that adults use them too; Not to be cool in front of the teenagers, but because they themselves are nerds or internet veterans that probably grew up when they started being used.
^True dat.
It is common in both speech and on the internet nowadays. Especially "lol".
That's horrible, Skull, if I were present at a scene like that I would burst out laughing and the old people would hit me with their walkers.
