I liked this quirky collection of random, obscure internet terms, which they could have been making up.
I was particularly struck by the term POTATO - Person Over Thirty Acting Twenty One (or Twenty-one Online). A cruel smack in the face to those of us who've grown old but haven't grown up.
Still, if you're over 30 and you regularly use 'lolz' you deserve to be called much worse than a potato.
On the subject of potatoes, I'd seen this postcard before Elaine blogged it but have no way of proving that now - the secret of true happiness!

The debate around flirt to convert
Had a convo last night at the 'youth in a cafe thing' about whether it was okay for me to chat up, er, I mean 'witness', to the hot waitress and ask her about her cool neck tattoo. One person said, 'Should we tell your wife'. I was like, 'Yeah, she would laugh and gleefully watch me crash and burn...'*
But anyhow, I didn't, because there is always that thing of if you talk to someone they might get the wrong idea. And then today I discovered this blog post about witnessing that looks like hitting on people. The comments are as funny as the original post.
I particularly like the acronym S.T.U.D. - Salvation Through Unbiblical Dating. Quality.
*I was like, so, offended that they thought I meant it... that I started using 'like' instead of 'said'!
