INTERNET SLANG EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW 😲
Following the overwhelming response to our post yesterday about sexualized emojis, today we continue our ‘sex education for parents’ and discuss the acronyms that can be used by child predators who engage in sexualized written communication with your kids. Here are some common acronyms and internet slang typically seen online in 2022 which every parent should know:
⚠️ Catch a case: Willingness to being arrested and charged for something, often used in relation to sexual desire for someone who is much younger/under age.
⚠️ CD9 or Code 9: Parents are around
⚠️ DNI : Do not interact, especially as a warning of explicit/sexual content for under 18s
⚠️ DM;HS: Doesn’t matter; had sex
⚠️ DPW: D*** pictures welcome
⚠️ Down in the DM: Using private messages (DM=Direct Message) on social media to ask for nude photos and/or to filter through people to find a sexual encounter
⚠️ GNRN: Get Naked Right Now
⚠️ GNOC: Get Naked On Camera
⚠️ LMIRL: Let’s meet in real life
⚠️ LMP: Like my pic
⚠️ NIFOC Naked in front of computer
⚠️ NP4NP : Naked Pic For Naked Pic
⚠️ P911: Parent Alert
⚠️ PIR: Parent in room
⚠️ POS: Parent Over Shoulder
⚠️ POV: Point of view, and often indicates that a video is supposed to be filmed as if you’re seeing through someone else’s eyes
⚠️ Rule 34: Any topic can be made into pornographic content
⚠️ Snacc/Snack: A person you find attractive
⚠️ Sneaky Link: Seeing someone for sex but you want to keep the relationship quiet
⚠️ Smash: To have casual sex
⚠️ TDTM: Talk dirty to me
⚠️ 1174: Nude club
⚠️ 143 : I love you
⚠️ 9: Parent watching
Please note, this is by no means a definitive dictionary of internet terms as there are many more acronyms used by predators online, and of course many of these terms have multiple meanings. I am sharing these terms simply to educate parents and caregivers about the tactics of child sexual predators and a growing trend of self-produced child exploitation material.
This is important, because research conducted in 2020 revealed only about half of parents talked to their children about online safety 😱
Alarmingly, 50% of parents said they don’t know what to do to keep their kids safe online, and just 3% of parents are concerned about online grooming. Sadly, most parents in the study believe online child sexual exploitation is too repulsive to even think about. I agree – it absolutely is repulsive to think about. But even more repulsive is it happening to YOUR child. Because one child is, and always will be, too many 👊🏼
