This is interesting. Parents need to know this indeed. What the youths are getting themselves into these days is unbelievable! They are actually in their own world, parents need to be more sensitive to their wards. Especially those children in the boarding schools, only God knows what goes on there these days.
Actually you would think most of these acronyms are some IT or computer terms.
God help us.

We parents have a lot to do in the upbringing of out teenagers especially. I could never have imagined knowing words like this. This an eye opener for me and I will surely share this amongst my friends and family.
We may be suprised, cultists may have acronyms used among themselves also.
MOD please move this to Frontpage. People may learn from this. This topic is better than some topics making Frontpage on nairaland recently.

I'm suprised people are saying the codes are not applicable to nigeria. Even if they weren't before today.. now they are! Simply because they are all out there on the Internet for the world to see.
LOL, LROF, WTF etc weren't applicable to nigerians at a point in time, but now we have developed our own after taking it up.. LWKMD etc.
