New meme tells you what kids these days are REALLY texting about

TwitterFacebook

Kids these days, what are they like? With their YouTubing and their bit-pennies. Luckily the internet is here to explain.

Internet users have been constructing handy guides to acronyms like LOL and ROFL for baffled parents. The only problem, is they’re pretty specific…

Is your child texting about @olivegarden? Here’s a quick guide to find out:
OG: Olive Garden
LMAO: love me an olive
LOL: lots of lasagna
ROFL: ravioli or flavorful linguine
BRB: breadsticks rock, bro
WTF: where’s the fettuccine
STFU: some tiramisu for us

TwitterFacebook

Christmas trees come in all different shapes and sizes.

There are tall, bushy ones. Miniature ones that sit on your table top. Fake ones. Real ones.

Then there’s this 65ft one in Rome’s Piazza Venezia, which cost a solid €48,000 ($57,000) in transport fees and pretty much has more baubles than pine needles:
