[+ Chris Eisenhower]

So if you're jumping on the 21st century bandwagon and getting ur escort or hookup from MH, A4A, Clist or BP, or you get that random wrong number text from a hot college student and want to make the most of it (this means YOU Jakeleyman), here are some abbreviations you should know to navig8 those confusing and sometimes rough seas. It's like having one of those millennials in your back pocket!

 

Njoy. (I love #1, 3 and 16 because they're so true.)
