Scarlett Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I know a young man....family of frieds....I see him only in the summers. He friended me on FB. He has sent me three messages ending with \nB.B At first I thought it was just a typo....now I think it must be some texting slang...:confused: Anyone younger and hipper and or with teens who can help me?

Mejane Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Neither of my text-savvy kids knows. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Could it be a typed-in emoticon? Like eyes, nose, grinning teeth? Otherwise, I am at a loss. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It might just be his own signature that only means something to him and the people that associate with him regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Not in this case, but when I want to look up teen slang, I use http://www.urbandictionary.com It's eye-opening.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fridays Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's very mysterious. It may be emoticon code that isn't registering on FB, or simply a sig of his. Either way it isn't known slang or a text acronym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeFe Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Are his initials B.B.? I thought the /n meant it was a preset signature. I have a few friends who will comment and at the end it will say, /n April. At first, it annoyed me b/c I was thinking it's obvious that it's you but I saw it so many times. The only thing I can think of is that it's set up automatically when they post from their cell phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumkins Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I wonder if he's sending it from his cell. That could be messing something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well I feel slightly better that I'm not the only one. I do think he is sending it from his phone...He is a funny kid. Lives in inner city Detroit and can clean up and look sooooooooooo nice....then I catch glimpses of him on FB being totally ghetto. I mean it is amazing how his dialect changes and everything!

Unicorn. Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I looked it up on The Source (teen slang guide for parents) and it didn't register, so I'm thinking it's his personal siggy as well. Why don't you just ask him? I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich with Kids Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Please ask him. I have to know now. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Please ask him. I have to know now. :tongue_smilie: LOL I will. I was afraid it something totally obvious and I would look like totally lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deannajo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think its probably the phone - I had a fb friend who's posts ended in a weird tag like that whenever she posted from her phone. That would be my guess at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooahwife Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Maybe he's sending it from a Mac? I know one forum I hang out on does weird things to posts from Macs and only to Mac-sent messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
