Predictive text triggers new slang
Teenagers are inventing a whole new slang based on the predictive text function used to send messages on mobile phones.
They are replacing the words they mean with the first alternative that comes up when typing a message, reports the Daily Telegraph.
So "book" means "cool" - because book is the word that first comes up when you type cool into your phone using predictive text.
And when teens say "zonino!" it means "woohoo!" and when they refer to someone's "nun" they mean their mum.
If a teenager says they are in the "sub", it means they are down the "pub". When they get a "pint" in, it becomes a "shot" and the "barmaid" is a "carnage".
And if they are really lucky, after a few "shots" they may get to "lips" (kiss) the "carnage".
David Crystal, a linguistics expert at Bangor University, said the language is known as textonyms, or t9onyms (pronounced tynonyms).
"Playing with language isn't new, kids have been doing it since at least Victorian times," he said.
"It shows incredible ingenuity and, believe it or not, a high degree of literacy on their part.
"And don't worry if you find it confusing. There's little chance many of these words will be incorporated into our language. They'll likely fall by the wayside."?

My Mum (nun) is 80 and texts like a teen and sometimes I have to ring her up to ask what she has put.
