Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When texting your best friend you receive a message saying "BRB" and her next text comes about 10 minutes later. What does BRB mean?

Answer: Be Right Back

According to the Urban Dictionary, BRB can mean that the person sending the message is going to be away from their device, whether for 20 seconds or even an hour. It just simply means they will not be able to text you for an amount of time.

2. You are ending a conversation with your text-savvy mom when she texts you "143". You ponder this and then send her the message "1432" back. What does 143 mean?

Answer: I Love You

The numbers in this stand for the amount of letters in each of the words. The 1 represents I since it only contains one letter, 4 stands for love since that contains four letters, and 3 is you because it contains three letters.

Answer: As Soon as Possible

ASAP was not always used in text messages, before this it was used in military slang. It had many different meanings including, but not limited to, Army Substance Abuse Program, Aviation Safety Analysis Program, Army Streamlined Acquisition Process and Automated Support Activity Program.

Answer: No

BTW actually stands for By The Way. It is used fairly frequently by people who text.

Answer: At Your Own Risk

The reason why some pool owners put up those signs is to warn people that there is no lifeguard on duty (mostly because they cannot afford to hire one) and that if you do decide to swim anyway, they are not responsible for anything that happens to you while you swim.

This is also to warn parents with young children that there is no one else to watch their kids if they leave them in the water alone.

Answer: Win

FTL is the opposite of FTW meaning For The Loss. FTW originated from a game show called "Hollywood Squares" and the player's response was supposed to win the game.

Answer: Alt Ctrl Del

When dealing with computer problems people usually are told to either restart their computers or press and hold control, alt and delete to get to the task managers on their windows computers. With the task manager you can check how busy your computer is, see what programs are running both the ones you can see and the ones running in the background and forcibly end a program that is not responding correctly.

Answer: LAP

LOL stands for Laugh Out Loud while LTS stands for Laughing To Self. LOU means Laughing Over You but LAP doesn't mean anything indicating laughter.

Answer: No

2G2B4G actually stands for "Too Good To Be Forgotten". The number 2 usually substitutes for the word "to" and "too" and the number 4 usually substitutes for the word "for" when using texting acronyms.

Answer: : )

Smileys are used to express feelings or a person's actions through an image. The colon symbol is usually used for the eyes, the dash is used for the nose and various numbers, letters and symbols are used for the mouth (depending on what it is trying to indicate). Examples include: the letters D, P, O, X, C, the numbers 6, 9, 0 and symbols like parenthesis, number signs, brackets and dollar sign.

Answer: Thank You

A lot of acronyms and texting terms are made according to the way a word sounds. "Thx" is another such term which simply stands for "Thanks". Another example would be "2nite". It's pretty simple where the number 2 stands for the "to-" part and "nite" stands for the "-night" part.

12. If a parent has a child that frequently uses the Internet, terms like "99" are one of the few they must learn to keep them and their children safe. What does "99" stand for?

Answer: Parent is no longer watching

Terms like "99", "9" and even "A/S/L/P" may seem like random combinations of letters and numbers, but they are actually a code cyber-stalkers use to learn more about unsuspecting children and teens. Parents must learn these to be able to see signs if their child is being targeted or not.

Answer: To gang up on someone

Ever since Internet chatting became popular amongst teens, the violence of teen fights has grown tremendously. Most fights begin online and escalate until they plan to meet and beat each other up for it.

Answer: SMH

"SMH" stands for Shaking My Head. It is used to either show disapproval of something (used mostly for a yes or no question) or to show that you think something was ridiculous, pitiful, bad, etc.

Answer: G

Some smileys don't have to look like people at all. They could include a series of dashes, a row of "&" signs, asterisks and even a single parenthesis and still be considered smileys and can still be understood!
