You Know, You Can't Just Run Around Willy Nilly Making Up Acronyms.

My father, new to the world of instant messaging, is rapidly adopting a number of the annoying habits normally attributed to preteen and adolescent IMers. Coupled with his general infantility, this can create what many mothers and pseudo-mothers affectionately refer to as a handful.

Dad:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:
"wha ja guh?" is my reaction to you making up msn language

Heavens to Murgatroid!:

Dad:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:
where joo go is not a commonly used expression, and therefore not acronymable

Dad:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:

Dad:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:
stop using acronyms that aren't legitimate msn fodder and you have a deal

Dad:

Dad:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:

Dad:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:

Heavens to Murgatroid!:
