Jessica Ree's 'Look At Me'

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT EXCLUSIVE BY JESSICA REE!

Hello Jessica fans!

ChartBlog sent me, Jessica Ree - your very own ‘Look At Me!’ correspondent to the world of SexyFacts - to take an in-depth look at street slang, text speak and all of the brilliant new ways in which you youngsters manage to talk to each other. And what a creative bunch you are! Here’s what I can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL…

TEXTING SPEAK

WHAT YOU SAY WHAT IT MEANS
OMG! Crikey. Or gosh, or heck, or sheesh.
LOL! Short for Laurence. Also, a way of pretending to find something funny, even if it isn't. Extra exclamation marks are used depending on how much you wish to flatter the person you say it to.
PMSL! When ladies become suddenly moody for no apparent reason (that boys can understand).
ROFL! Bearded entertainer. Likes animals.
NBF No boyfriend (Note to self: must check this one!).

INSTANT MESSENGERING SPEAK

WHAT YOU SAY WHAT IT MEANS
BRB A footballing position. Defends the goal on the right hand side of the pitch. Only used when a team coach IMs a player just before a crucial game.
kthxbai Literally translated: "I've loved every precious minute we've spent together, but I'm afraid I must now make haste. Thank you dearly for all the wisdom you've imparted." One of the more polite and eloquent IM-isms.
ZOMG! This is an abbreviation of the name of popular children's entertainer Zoe McGregor. Her name is often invoked when surprised, a la 'Gordon Bennett!'
BFFs Boring French Fancies. Used to review badly-catered parties where the doilies don't match.
WTF?"Where's the fridge?" only really used by chubby web users with a poor sense of direction.
M8 Motorway in Southern Scotland.
GR8Tony the Tiger's favourite number.
TMI! This is a reference to a dyslexic boy called Tim, who all of 'The Kids' know, and who probably talks a bit too much about his dyslexia.
BuffTo polish
Sick Vomit
Well sickTo vomit into a well, poisoning the water for all the olden days people that need it.

And I'm sure that in the moments since I finished working so hard on this that my entire head was glowing like a lightbulb, you'll have come up with some new ideas, you little scamps! So, whack 'em in the comments box below and I will EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL them for everyone.

    Hahaha, I would write "lol" but i'm actually laughing out loud, and it seems not to define that anymore...

    I especially like the "TMI!" definition. Sorry, i can't stop chuckling to myself. I now proudly have the knowledge of what these abbreviations mean, and I shall share it with my peers.

    Thank you...
