I just had to explain to my boss what "*g*" means. I forwarded something to him with a note that said "And I'm coming right in to talk to you about this. *g*" because our offices are right next door and it seemed kind of silly. That was two hours ago. He just called me in to ask, "What does star gee star mean?" And then I had to explain.

What really freaks me out is: he's not that much older than I am. He lives, you know, in the world. Why does he not know this? Is it generally not known? I mean, my dad knows what "*g*" means. Although possibly because I told him. So...does BossMan live in a bubble, or am I completely divorced from reality or like a teeny-bopper net-speaker omg lolz?

We use AIM at the office to speak to each other and I had one of my co-workers, a guy my own age, ask me what *nods* means. I think we forget, as people who chat regularly, that most people really don't actually understand chat language. I'm always watching myself when I'm on AIM at the office. One day I'm just going to be all OMG SO GAY in a conversation with my manager, I just know it.

::laughs:: Oh, the habits that die hard. When/if that day comes, you have my sympathy. I just hope he/she/it understands....
