The digital age created the ability for individuals to immerse themselves in social media, sending texts from their cell phones, or Tweets (status updates) using Twitter. While convenient, it brought on a language of its own with the potential to cause confusion. Is BYOB and invitation for you to Bring your own booze or an invitation for you to Be your own boss? When your offspring hurriedly types CD9, is that the name of a new soft drink or, like POS, a warning that they have Parents Over Shoulder? WTF R U Sayin' provides two list (one alphabetical by code, the second, alphabetical by description) over 3,500 symbols, codes, acronyms, abbreviations, and phrases to assist you in making sense of the jargon.
