Another bad abbreviation.

Today's post is more of an extension of one I did before.  The short version of 'Rest In Peace' doesn't work for me.  Whenever I see R.I.P, I think of comic gravestones and a quite graphic animation of someone being ripped apart.  Now, this might just be my disturbed mind (not really), but I find it much more elegant and less tack to actually say Rest In Peace.  I feel that if you are going to take the time to remember someone or pay your respects, that you could at least have the decency to write out a full word.  I'm assuming that the only reason R.I.P ever became the norm was because gravestones were hand-carved an expensive (don't quote me on that).  It's almost like putting H.A.G.S in a yearbook.  It means you don't really care.

Stupid/ridiculous abreviations.

I have been enlightened to a few new texting/Internet abbreviations over the past month or so.  Some that I find so pointless, so stupid, so dumb that I felt they deserved a post.  I will list them below:

• SMH, smh, smdh - Apparently stands for "Shaking my (damn) head".
• Ex. "Some people on this page just get on my nerves! SMH"- Facebook

In my opinion, this is the worst of them all.  Why can't someone use words to show their disgust?  I also think of something vulgar when I see this.

• HMU, Hmu - "Hit me up".
• Ex. "I'm not going to be shy anymore . What's up names jdub see me around I'm a chill ass Guy to talk to . Hmu sometime people" - Facebook

Hit me up is a phrase that has already been shortened.  HMU looks like a college to me.

Definitely my favorite text lingo.

These examples are from the WKU Class of 2015 Facebook group.  I literally cannot understand half of the things people post on that page.  Sort of like how I couldn't understand a word some ladies at Wal*Mart were saying to each other.
