Today’s revelation that David Cameron signed off his texts to Rebekah Brooks with LOL (thinking it means “Lots of Love”), got people laughing on Twitter this afternoon. Here are some of the best examples of possible #dctxtspeak (so far):
- ROTFL = Rupert’s On The Fone: Listening (@benkind)
- IMHO = In Murdoch’s Humble Opinion (@thejamesdixon)
- LMAO = Let Me Ask Osborne (@neilrfoster)
- FTW = For The Wealthy (@AdamTyndall)
- LMAO = Lord Mandelson Agitates Osborne (@michaelsavage)
- ROFL: Ring Osborne For Lines (@alexbigham)
