Watch for these Telltale signs that your children are learning Dweebonics:: They tilt their heads sideways to smile; When you ground them, they say: Your UI could really uses some work..; They say: My Dad can Beat Your Dad at Quake; Instead of laughing they say: LOL; They insult kids by saying, And you've got limited bandwidth!!!; They change the answering machine message to: BRB, leave your URL, and well TTYL!!; This is how they ask someone out on a date: Ummm, uh, well.... seeya!; Calling from camp, your homesick child says, I'm roaming outside my service area!; When you ask if they've finished their book report, they say, Its in beta, but itll ship in time!!; Youre telling them something they dont want to hear. They're saying, NAK, NAK, NAK the wholetime..... (stolen from: patricia_keefe AT cw DOT com)
