11 year olds are SNEAKY...

I am posting this post for one reason: I need your help.

For the past few weeks, I have been tortured by a mischievous 11 year old who thinks it is really cool to make up abbreviations and not tell you what they stand for.
Then she proceeds to rub it in your face, as if it's absolutely hilarious. (Wow, this is sounding strangely familiar...)

Anyway, here's my question:
ITC

What DOES IT MEAN?
Urban Dictionary has some pretty hilarious definitions, but there is NO WAY these 11 year olds could be that clever.

On Friday she gave me an example of how it is used.
"OMG can you believe that? ITC!!!"

Wow. Thanks for the big clue girlfriend.

My first guess was "In The Club?"

Trust me, I got a weird and confused look that confirmed I was, indeed, wrong (and weird).

It's Too Cool! Duh. (Just a guess actually)

Wow, I was just noticing that my 11 year old son is doing the same thing. I don't know what ITC is, but instead of answering me "I don't know", lately I get IDK. I'll ask him if he knows what ITC is, because 11 year olds are way smarter than us...at least they think they are.

Joeprah- That's actually one of the first things I said, and she looked at me like I'm some sort of idiot. haha!
Rich- Def get the hookup on the lingo and let me know! That's really funny, I can see your son walking around saying "IDK Dad! IDK!!"

That would stand for "It's The Coolest!"

That's how my mullet rolls. And I actually am smarter than a 5th grader or whatever that show is haha

shaikens said...

Haha, Matty, I tried that one too.

You should go on that show, mainly because Jeff Foxworthy hosts it, and he is a mullet master.

Matty said...

Oh hell, if I wore my mullet on that show, we would go back and forth with redneck and white trash jokes... they would probably have to say earmuffs! to the young'uns in attendance because it would definitely end up going on the PG13 to rated R scale haha...

"It's the coolest" is the acronym or the other way around... I verified it with some little kid at work a few minutes ago... but that could be the dawsonville translation of the acronym, which could be different from the gwinnetian translation haha

I asked a 14-year-old, who never heard of it, but she looked it up for me.. Here's what she came up with:

“in this channel” talking about chatrooms..

“in the chat”…

word for space between a womans thighs…

or a slang word to shorten the word bitch
