Description

Do you feel like you need a translator to talk to your kids? Did you know that "POS" can mean "Parent over shoulder" or that "420" refers to marijuana? Many of today's text messaging jargon terms may be funny, but we know that some are very serious. Love them or hate them, their use is rampant. NetWords provides a dictionary for SMS texting and instant messaging abbreviations and slang. Keep a handy translator with you at all times so you can stay hip and informed.

Over 1800 terms are included in the dictionary and future free updates will add new terms. Easily search through the NetWords terms and meanings and see the search results as you type. Browse the terms quickly by sliding your finger along the familiar index. The meaning of each term is displayed below the term at all times. Definitions that are too long to fit are shortened with an ellipsis (...) at the end. Simply tapping on a term will reveal the full meaning, with multiple meanings on separate lines.
