I came across a German text message abbreviation the other day that looked like an English word, so I searched the net and found a few, which either looked like an English word or like an English abbreviation.
Here are 10 of them:
- BSE – bin so einsam – am so lonely
- DAD – denke an dich – thinking of you
- FANTA – fahre noch Tanken – just getting petrol
- ISDN – ich sehe deine Nummer – I see your number
- JON – jetzt oder nie – now or never
- MAD – mag dich – like you
- NEWS – noch ein wenig sauer – still a bit angry
- SMILE – So möchte ich leben – That’s how I want to live
- SMS – schreib mir schnell – write quickly
and my favourite: POKEMON – Pommes ohne Ketchup mag ohnehin niemand – nobody likes chips without ketchup anyway!
Can anybody add to this list?
