At least once a year we update our texting chat acronyms (slang) list. This year the app Ask.Fm<\/a> made that job a little easier and published the top acronyms teens use every day on their chat site. There are some we\u2019ve never seen that are pretty clever. Thanks, Ask.fm for publishing this fresh list (1-20).<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also included a huge list of terms (some new some previously published) your teen may also be using via text (Or hey, even the adults you know!). Keep your eye out for some of the riskier terms.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the readers (including teens) who continue to comment on our posts and send us notes on the acronyms we include on our lists. Your input keeps us on our toes and keeps our list fun and up-to-date. Happy texting to all and remember to be kind and keep it clean!<\/p>\n
