Parents, do you know what these texts mean? 
By Elizabeth Cohen, CNN Senior Medical Correspondent

Do you know what this means: %*@:-( ? 
Or this: ~~#ZZZZZZ ? 
 
Six years ago, Ryan Jones didn’t know what the above terms meant either—but that was before he 
became an expert in the shorthand teens use to communicate about their illicit activities. In 2004, Jones, a 
software engineer, received some odd instant messages at work, using terms such as“idk” and“lyk.”He 
quickly realized the messages weren’t from his boss—they were from his boss’ children, who were hanging 
out at the office with their father for the day. He later learned“idk”means “I don’t know” and “lyk” means 
“like.” Jones created noslang.com in 2005, and as more readers have submitted terms related to drugs and 
sex, what started out as a fun little lexicon of innocuous shortcuts has become a valuable educational tool 
for parents to learn about what their children are up to. Try to translate a real message found by Susan 
Shankle and Barbara Melton, co-authors of the book What in the World Are Your Kids Doing Online?: 
 
The message reads: “1 4m 4|| j1773ry 4nd n33d 70 m337 up w17h y0u 70n16h7 4f73r my p4r3n75 7h1nk 
1 4m 45|33p.” 
Translation: “I am all jittery and need to meet up with you tonight after my parents think I am asleep.”
