Every generation has its own short code … And the old code makes way for the new. OMG and LOL are now officially passe. The NYT has a whole set of new acronyms that are replacing words in language.
* GI — Google it
* MOP — Mac or PC?
* FCAO — five conversations at once
* IIOYT — is it on YouTube?
* DYFH — did you Facebook him/her?
* BIOI — buy it on iTunes
* CMOS — call me on Skype
* GGNUDP — gotta go, no unlimited data plan
* WLF — with the lady friend
* 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”)
