One time I was joking about the phrase 'busting a nut' and my mom asked what it meant. Out of fear I told her it meant to 'work really hard', like to the point where you were exhausted. Totally forgot about it until she came home from work in front of my dad and brother hollering "Totally busted a nut at work today!"

Throwback to my highschool days when I was still learning conversational English, (English isn't my native language) And one of my classmates (girl) sent me a text (guy) saying "I'm pissed off" I couldn't understand exactly what it meant, so I didn't delete that message ( I usually deleted all my messages) My parents decided to check the phone when I was in school, and found a text they didn't understand, from a girl, they got curious, this was before internet was common, so they took out the old dictionary my dad borrowed from his brother in the 60s, and searched the word "piss" When I finally reached home, I got my ass whopped because some girl wanted to pee on me.

I've been saying for a while that this is the dumbing-down of America where people actually use acronyms to spell out words; it's bad enough that a lot of Americans don't know how to spell, use correct punctuation and grammar but now everyone's talking in abbreviated senses, this is scary because people are getting the wrong impression of their friends and relatives text messages because they're not getting body language, the tone of the actual words from someone's mouth or facial expressions, just words on a screen, at least with a landline phone you get the tone of words but the word phone is a derivative of the word phony which means phony communications. I once seen an older man try to look up what an acronym meant that he got on a text from a younger person and I told him "don't do that make the kid spell it out for you" or you'll eventually get more and more dumbed down by technology too. If everyone keeps this up pretty soon they're going to end up living in a cave somewhere like cavemen and women talking to each other like Charlie Brown's teacher.... wah wah wah wah wah wah! And if you think I'm joking on where it's going then how come just 15 years ago or so I heard they've allowed Ebonics in some colleges as an actual language which is just broken English (English slang)? First it was person-to-person communication then started phone to phone communication 150 years ago or so which allowed everyone to separate because they knew they could get ahold of each other from a distance but now it's text to text. This phone s*** is breaking down the fabric seams of our social structure and the way humans communicate naturally and the same with the way Facebook separates millions of us to.
