Has Anyone Noticed...?

<p>People here think the word "ill" is synonymous with "cool."</p>

<p>Canadians. Pfft.</p>

<p>Preggo is fun to say.</p>

<p>^ I will agree, I think that "preggo" is fun to say. I say it jokingly sometimes.</p>

<p>I have a friend who says preggers, but I think she's the only one. </p>

<p>I really wonder what the appeal is in shortening words. I never got a straight answer to that question when asking people in my school.</p>

<p>I type def all the time because I can't ever seem to remember how to spell definitely. lol</p>

<p>Oh, today someone said that the tie my AP Calc teacher was wearing was "presh" (as in precious). Its the same girl as "ano" and "sketch." I hate her.</p>

<p>Ana is a normal work to use for anorexic (pro-ana websites). It's about the same as saying DNA.</p>

<p>What is pro- short for (pro-ana for ex.)?</p>

<p>Oh I also use ex for example, but I don't say it.</p>

<p>I also say prolley instead of probably, but that's just a hick thing.</p>

<p>^she doesn't say "ana." She says "an*o*" in a joking manner...</p>

<p>Pro? Good question...</p>

<p>I can't see a teacher's tie as being precious, lol. </p>

<p>I haven't heard shortened words at all this week, a first, because everyone is away. Next week those words will be back full force, I bet, once school re-starts.</p>

<p>my best friend says "presh" or "presh magesh" all the time. ahhaha. but whatever... i love shortened words, they're hilarious.</p>

<p>I want to go up to one of the English teachers and see how they react to the use of shortened words. I know my English teacher would be appalled and think it's the end of the world (she had a whole speech the other day on how political correct language is not grammatically correct). I don't know how the other English teachers would act, though. They seem more into literature than grammar...</p>

<p>"Omg, your class was deff awesome!"</p>

<p>"Pro-" isn't short for anything.</p>

<p>"Pro" can be short for "professional," but that's not what you mean.</p>

<p>There's probably a really weird explanation for "pro".</p>

<p>I don't think there is. It's just an interesting prefix.</p>

<p>wanna hang out tom?
def.
what about tn?
prob not.</p>

<p>ROCKERMCR WHAT HAPPENED TO LEET??? (1337)</p>

<p>I heard another one:</p>

<p>Details becomes "dets". Ugh.</p>

<p>Pizza becomes "pizz" (pronounced peez)</p>

<p>Lol! That one is odd. </p>

<p>I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but "probs" is another one, shortened from probably.</p>
