Brittney’s post on why she’s not on MySpace has the ironic title “A/S/L? R U Ready For My MANHOOD?”
I’m up on most of the Internet acronymage, but that one flew right past me. Urban Dictionary to the rescue. Turns out it’s a chat thing.
Age / Sex / Location. The mating call of the barely post-pubescant teenager. Typically the male initiates this signal, as an attempt to attract a female that can give an honest reply to his liking. More often, however, the male is fooled by another male, generally much older, who will impersonate his “dream girl” for his own sick, sadistic pleasure.
Horny teenager: “A/S/L?”
50yr old bald, obese guy sitting naked at computer, scratching double chin and eating cheetos: “16/F/hopefully in your bedroom soon”
Horny Teenager: “Wanna cyber?!?!”
50yr old dude: “Thought you’d never ask!!!!!”

Count your blessings that you’ve never been hit with that before.
Heh. I don’t chat, so no risk of that.
I don’t get it. What’s it for?
Couldn’t you get those answers in a more meaningful way pretty easily? Who the heck comes up with this stuff?
