I’ve also noticed the common use of “r” “u” and “4” in many of these fun, idiosyncratic expressions.

Oops, "convey."
DeleteYears ago, a car passed me on the Maine Turnpike with the license, BAHABA. It took me a few minutes to figure that out!
ReplyDeleteTook me more than a few, but I finally got it...
