What's the go with "wats"

February 06 2024

We keep getting messages with questions like "Wats you guys upto" "Wats you looking for" So what is wats? Is it like bats? Our son has 3 cricket bats. I know I'm not the greatest at English, but how hard is it, my phone corrects me most of the time. Anyway that's my gripe for the day 🤷‍♂️😅

    It's all about efficiency. Missing out the 'h' in what 'might' not seem like a big deal on just one message, but when you send hundreds of messages a week that's potentially saving several minutes of typing time. Obviously, these guys haven't mastered the efficiency though, because the 's' on the end is totally redundant. They should also be using numbers instead of words and shortening words to a single letter wherever possible. e.g. Wat u up 2 Wat u lookin 4?

    WatUup2 is a common one too. Either just laziness or trying to look edgy. An articulate message is actually quite sexy.

    This post reminds me of the SNL skit embarrassing text message evidence :)

    It’s a secret language which flags to you that the sender and yourself may not really be compatible. I think it’s great that people use these sorts of words as it allows you to filter them out straight away.

    The probability is; it's better than; "Wad up". Ms Foxy

    I don’t message many men so I can only comment on the female response. It’s dire. But I am a sticker for grammar. I’m likely one of those arseholes that everyone talks about in a disparaging way. In fact Abi tells me that’s exactly the case.

    When what was a hat He was rather objectified Until one day he met a w And was completely redefined! The same thing happened to it Seems three were better than two Who would have thought All they needed was a w! But lately, though, he's been flirting, skirting with restraint He thinks it's cool to drop the h But all it renders is complaint! And all the while he's been loosing pieces of himself For nothing makes a whole Than a hole filled up with halves And soon he'll be an at More a destination to time and space And last a simple a A lonely letter in first place. So messaging men of the pie.. Or wanna be bakers (a borrowed line) Don't leave your letters lonely Because that leaves a rancid taste!
