Almost 100 texting acronyms parents should know

CNN has a piece out this week about internet slang – you know, LOL, OMG, IKR.

The story points out, while “LMK” — let me know — and “WYCM” — will you call me? — are innocent enough, it’s important to identify slang that could signal some dangerous teen behavior, such as “GNOC,'” which means “get naked on camera.”

We went to Cool Mom Tech which has a list of 99 texting acronyms and phrases that every parent should know.
