I just made that word up. I don't hang around people that actually speak that way though. but I have heard it, usually teens in passing I over hear it. Makes me lose more faith in humanity.

Ive noticed the stupid one are the ones that shorten every word. The other things I dont understand is the double 'i' everytime they write 1 i they make it 2. Also he words This they turn into dis. I wonder if thats how they talk. I go crazy with all this nonsense.
