If you see your teenager typing "MOS" in a Windows Live chat when you're in the room and have no idea what it means -- "mom over shoulder," by the way -- then read on and/or print out this list to keep up with your kid's lingo...
But a word of warning: you might not want to know your kids are talking about this stuff (mine are still too young, so I have some time before I pull my hair out). Some of these I've heard while others seem, odd, but kudos to NetLingo for compiling and publishing this.
