TTYL: TO TIRED, YOU LEAD

Recently, Miti did a post on speaking in code to one another. At the end of it, she wrote TTYL.

Now being the know-it-all person that I am, I am to ashamed to admit that I didn't know what TTYL stands for, fun loving person that I am, I thought it might be fun to speculate what TTYL stands for.

So, does TTYL stand for Take That You Losers?

Maybe it's Tricky, Twisty, Youthful Yoga?

Or perhaps Ta Ta You Lakers?

Or Two Tigers, You Lose?

Or Terrible Twos You Love?

Perhaps it's Tame Teenagers Yonder, Look?

Or Tired Toddlers Yawn Laborously?

Maybe it's Tackled Teammates Yell Loudest?

Or Tell Truth You Liars?

Or Tiny Tadpoles Yucky Lunch?

How about Tiny Terriers Yap Loudly?

Perhaps it's Totally True, You're Lacking?

Is it Tailgating Taxis Yield Last?

Or Totally Taking Your Labradoodle?

Or Teenagers Talk, You Listen?

Could it be Trust Triumphs, Yellers Lose?

Or Trampled Tomatoes You Loathe?

Maybe it's Tall Tales You're Lying?

I know, maybe it's Totally Twittering. Yipeee! Listen!

Come you guys, let me in on the secret!!!!!!! What are your silly ideas? TTYL means.....?

  4. Of course, Emily wrote what it really stands for. If I were to come up with something silly, then how about, Take THAT, You Loser! (That's not very nice to say to someone, though!).

  5. It took me FOREVER to figure out LOL! I thought it meant "lots of love" and never understood why someone would say that after they said something funny or sarcastic!

    I didn't know what TTYL meant until just now!! I am not some old foggy just learning the ways of the mysterious cyberworld... guess I'm just slow! LOL

  8. I'm sorry ladies. I didn't mean to leave y'all in the bloggy darkness. Since Emily spilled the beans on what TTYL means, I'll just play along with Nan and have some fun with it.



    Yesterday, I went to Red Lobster and had a TTYL!

    Translation: Yesterday, I went to Red Lobster and had a Totally, Tasty, Yummy Lunch!




    The other night, I had some company. They visited until the weee hours of the mornin'. My eyes were getting heavy and they just would not leave. I thought to myself, "hmmmmmm....TTYL!"

    Translation: "hmmmmm....Time To Yawn LOUDLY!"



    TTYL is ALWAYS diggin' in the dirt!

    Translation: That There Yard Lover is ALWAYS diggin in the dirt!


    Mum, Can I go to Charlie's house?
    No.
    Why not, Mum?
    Because I said so and ttyl!

    Translation: Because I said so and That's That Young Lad!

    Oh...and while I'm at it, here's what I think KWIM means, Carrie.

  13. I always use TTFN at the end of my posts, assuming that everyone knows what TTFN means!! Surely people would ask if they didn't know, right? I mean, y'all know, right? :)
