Stumbling upon Daily Candy’s post on the new lexicon of Textese brought a smile to my face. 🙂
You may recall the study I recently blogged that suggests that Textese is not ruining the English language. In fact, as Daily Candy proves, you can have some fun by creating your very own Textese words. A few of my favorites:
ew toob
n. Videos of inappropriate content posted for the world to see.mpFree
n. Music or video files obtained through piracy.social netlurking
v. To join a social network for the sole purpose of stalking a member.

If you enjoy making up fun words just for the heck of it, check out Daily Candy’s book. We’ve already ordered a copy!
