How well do you know your texting slang?
U is a popular abbreviation for "you" that many people use in texts, online messages, social media, emails, and even some company names (does a certain moving truck company ring a bell?). For example, your buddy may text you, "U up yet or r u still passed out?"
The abbreviation gained prominence as mobile phone usage and online messaging rose dramatically in the late-1990s and early-2000s. People may use it individually or as part of another abbreviation or acronym, such as CUL or WRU.
