People who use '&&'

moPOETRYtion · February 2010

I don't understand. Why do people do this?

Is it some cool thing for tweens these days?

sammiekc · February 2010

I'll admit, I used to do that when I was younger. I thought it looked cool but now when I look back, I'm like, "WTF were you thinking?" and I get annoyed when other people do it.

i feel old, I have no idea what you are talking about.

mamabearicson · February 2010

What is &&?

haleymay18 · February 2010

I must be the speshal snowflaak because I don't get it. Why don't you like the & symbol? Or do some people use it two times? In which case, I don't know why they would either.

Are you wondering why people use an ampersand instead of writing out the word 'and' ?

sarahbethrn · February 2010

Oh please do explain, because now I'm curious.

Rogue Lily · February 2010

using it together or just using it?

Lucky428 · February 2010

Confused...

mrsbird1129 · February 2010

I've never seen anyone do two in a row...

yale · February 2010

Somebody please tell us... I don't know what it means either.

sammiekc · February 2010

She means people who use it twice instead of once.

Still confused... Huh?

me too.

DotShaw · February 2010

In programmer lingo, it means "logical and."

But I don't think that how/why teens use it. I've never noticed it on here.

Yes, WHY would one do this, hmm?

moPOETRYtion · February 2010

I'm talking about people who use it twice. I saw my 16 year old cousin use it on her facebook status. Then I noticed an ex co-worker who is 18 use it also.

I was wondering if there was some hidden meaning behind it or if the kids these days just think it looks cool to do it twice???

I don't know. I'm as confused as you all are.

ellemoney:) · February 2010

I think she's maybe referring to FB. ?I would have NO idea of what she was talking about if I didn't have a 16 yo?cousin who is?constantly spelling words wrong "boyfrand" and using && and weird things like that.?

My?cousin's FB status with say "Hangin' wit Karlee && waitin on tha boyfrand" all the time. ?Drives.Me.Bananas!

I made a post about this recently, titled "Teenagers and Facebook." Not about && but about adding letters to the end of wordsss. I don't gett it but my nieces do it all the damnnn time.

It's like nails on a chalkboard. Super Angry

I have the answer!

"It's supposed to be used as a funny way to continue a thought. If & = P.S., && = P.S.S. It's used in texting and Twitter by wannabes. It's so last year, it's almost Myspaced.

Like, We went out last night.

& Tom had to much to drink.

&& that surprised no one.

It's kind of like how you and your friends might say:

We went out last night.

And Tom had too much to drink.

Annnnnnnnnd that surprised no one."

There you have it. Form the tweener's mouth to your eyes.

I find this to be so funny and yet it makes me also feel so old. ??

Teenagers are so annoying. I hope I have the patience to deal with J and his future sibling(s) when they are that age.

DotShaw · February 2010

Ahhh, and an explanation that makes sense:

"It started on twitter. It signals how many tweets are in one train of thought. && means it's the second continuation, &&& means it's the third. & takes up less characters than continued."

ChelseaC630 · February 2010

I have never seen this in my life.
