Summary | The Daily Mail released a list of emojis with double meanings. Some seemingly innocent emojis might in fact have another X-rated meaning. For instance, the mailbox emoji can mean "sex". You can use any emoji to talk about sex, but some are being used more than others. For example, the eggplant emoji is now widely accepted as a way to represent a penis. Most emojis can have a double meaning; they can be interpreted at face value or mean something completely different.

Sexting: A language our children must never learn

Topic Tags | abbreviations, childhood, sexting, technology-free, threat, youth
Summary | Youths are using abbreviations to keep their parents out of the loop like LMIRL (let's meet in real life). The police have published a list of these to help parents monitor their children. It is sad that children and teenagers have such low self-esteem that they do anything to receive validation from their digital peers. This is not just youth culture or rap music's fault but rather the parent's fault. They are always busy and spend too much time on their smartphone rather than gracing their children with face-to-face attention and smartphone-free activities.
