You best not read my sig then.

I use the correct English majority of time.

However my sister uses annoying slang all the time, like 'dat tin las nite woz mzn, n cn stnd nw az soo fkd.'


Like, really what the ******? You would not think she was born into a civilised family.

Urban Dictionary is so web 1.0
