Did You Just Call Me a 12OF?

David Pogue of The New York Times has a great proposal for a new shorthand language to replace the LOLs, BRBs and TTYLs that our kids and students use. Some of my favorites:

• IIOYT -- is it on YouTube?
  
• CMOS -- call me on Skype
  
• GGNUDP -- gotta go, no unlimited data plan
  
• JUOC -- jacked up on caffeine
  
• 12OF -- twelve-o'clock flasher (refers to someone less than competent with technology, to the extent that every appliance in the house flashes "12:00")
  
• NBL -- no battery left
  
• CTTC -- can't talk, teacher's coming
  

He's even got some shortcuts for those of us that are a bit older.

• WIWYA -- when I was your age
  
• YKT – you kids today
  
• CRRE -- conversation required; remove earbuds
  
• NIWYM -- no idea what you mean
  
• NCK -- not a chance, kid
