The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

What are they saying?

Whether you are up at the cabin, down in southern MN or even more down in Texas when the younger generation comes along with their little keyboards and screens they are carrying out a conspiricy against the oldsters by talking in a secret language. Through the magic of technology we have been able to find some of the meanings of their secret language. Below that is a link to a site that has a translator so if you can find out one of the secret words the site will translate it into English.

Common abbreviations

Word or phraseAbbreviation(s)
At the momentatm
Be right backbrb
By the waybtw
Got to gog2g or gtg
Greatgr8
I don't knowidk
Just kiddingjk
Laugh out loud / lots of lovelol
Oh my god / oh my goshomg
Talk to you laterttyl or t2yl




There is also a translator you can find at: translator link This translator appears to work but it is hard to believe the F-word does not have an equivalent in their secret language since they use it so often.
