Cross over language

I overheard a kid yesterday say to a groups of mates “Bee bee el”. It took me a few seconds to realise he meant “BBL” as in Be Back later – chat/sms/im slang.

So I started to think if any other phrases had crossed back into meat space.

W00t and Leet you hear pretty regularly. And someone I know says BFN (bye for now) but for some reason I think that’s a naff one on and offline – but maybe that’s just me.

Any other obvious ones I’ve missed?
