I’m a big believer in knowing what’s going on in my kids’ lives with regards to the Internet. Like I tell them, they might be sincere online…but that doesn’t mean 98% of the people they might encounter are the same way!
Here are some Internet acronyms every parent should know, taken from Net.Lingo:
- POS – Parent Over Shoulder

- P911 – Parent Alert
- PAW – Parents Are Watching
- PAL – Parents Are Listening
- ASL – Age/Sex/Location
- MorF – Male or Female
- SorG – Straight or Gay
- LMIRL – Let’s Meet In Real Life
- KPC – Keeping Parents Clueless
- TDTM – Talk Dirty To Me
- IWSN – I Want Sex Now
- NIFOC – Nude In Front Of Computer
- GYPO – Get Your Pants Off
- ADR or addy – Address
- WYCM – Will You Call Me?
- KFY – Kiss For You
- MOOS – Member(s) Of the Opposite Sex
- MOSS or MOTSS – Member(s) Of The Same Sex
- NALOPKT – Not A Lot Of People Know That

The times, they have a’changed. :-/
