Description
It’s already hard enough being a parent without having to deal with the “foreign” language being spoken by your children and their friends. Whether texting “encrypted” messages, emoticons or slang, now you can LRNtheLingo™ and understand what they’re saying. It’s all here and easily searchable so you can spot the warning signs and deal with potentially serious problems.
FEATURES:
• Search either by code or English term.
• Codes are not only translated (e.g., “Jacks” means “Cigarettes”), but also explained in detail.
• Examples of common usage are given (e.g., “Can I borrow five bucks? I need to get some jacks.”).
• Share any of these via e-mail with a single click.

An Amusing and Useful Tool
This app has an intuitive and simple interface, I had no problems navigating it. Very easy to look things up, and had fun just perusing all the text-speak and emoticons. Thanks for thinking of it, I had no idea I needed one! It has a very extensive database, but one suggestion would be to have an option for adding your own personal shortcuts or emoticons in the next update.
Great Info!
Great info, I have no idea weather my sons are complimenting me or cursing me half the time they talk to me! Thanks for the resource.
This should help
I'm still relatively young but I alway get text messages with crazy abbreviations. I now have a pocket reference! JMO FWIW ;)
