Those are initials.  I would have spelled them out whole, but Covers only allows a certain number of letters for screen names.

Everyone shortens words in this forum like USA, NFL, commish, hawks, pats, cincy, cards, mavs, lake show, clips, etc etc.

I cannot be sure about the number of 12 year olds that are Covers members (many ACT as if they are 12).  And for your information (FYI) 'lake show' is actually longer than 'Lakers'.

I hope it is a trend.... because trends die out, mostly because they are stupid to begin with.  Do you know one thing that will not die out?  Proper spelling and grammar.

  Have you ever filled out a job application using your trendy spelling?  I would love to see that.  A spelling or grammar mistake here and there is very common.  Throwing letters together that almost make a word is lazy (Seriously.... look at the title of your thread..here it is in full "You don't have to behave low to have black friends"....  what the hell does that even mean?) and I would say that most people would tend to ignore someone who makes posts like that, likely citing a lack of intelligence.  Unfortunately, as you stated, this has become acceptable....and that is alarming.  Hopefully kids still actually learn how to read and write words out properly.  I hope they do, otherwise the future is doomed.

Lake Show longer than Lakers Show or Lakers Showtime?

He basically saying people acting low class.  

Slang must not be your thing.  But it's a reality.   Maybe u in the wrong age group.

The Beibs and Diddy also use slang and they are much richer than you.  Unless you are Gates of course.  

So no, it's not a financial class thang chiken wang.

That makes perfect sense considering that Bieber's target audience is 12 year old girls!

People that can't read shortenedd writing for example on a personalized license plate could be an indicator of lower intelligence or bad math skills.  Are you really not as smart as a 5th grader?

You do realize 'math' is a shortened word for it's longer form don't you?   Does it bother you that I am using the word math instead of mathematics.

 No...it's been called math for longer than you or I have been around.  Vanity plates are stupid, although they make it much easier to remember who the a$$hole that cut you off is.  I like it when people call the team the New York Metropolitans.  

We have already stopped teaching kids how to write in cursive, we do not need to embrace them using this dumbed down shorthand.  Have you ever seen the movie 'Idiocracy'?  That part that takes place 500 years in the future actually isn't that far away at this rate.  
Although I would totally watch "Ow, My Balls!"

When you were a child I'm sure many adults didn't understand the dumb or interesting things kids your days did. 

No different today.

I agree with the first sentence, but it is different today.  We were making up new words and new things....  

Today is all about making these shorter because people are lazy and that leads down a bad road.  People have trouble understanding and reading the correct version.  You can't let kids learn that the wrong way is right.

Well this thread took a different angle than what the original poster intended.

I agree with the whole people try to act "cooler" around black people. My thought with this is our media/entertainment world in the USA really went through a ... call it what you will, I say propaganda phase of making the black culture look like "idiots" because the younger you are, the easily impressionable you are. So with all these "unknown followers" of what this media perception of "being black" is all about, you see it more and more frequent in the actual real world, and thus us non black folks tend to feel the need to "act cooler" around them to "fit in."

I don't follow any trends or slang (27 year old male) because I can see the writing on the wall with how media perception becomes reality in the masses.

Good stuff..... I'm 36, I have friends in their 40's that text and Twitter like they are teenage girls and I just don't get it.  They are moslty the follower type though and just go along with whatever is deemed 'cool' or 'trendy' no matter how dumb it is.
