As brain economists warned that the national IQ is verging on collapse, love
guru Whitney Casey recommended a new acronym for use in emails between
potential sweeties.
Casey, author of the wannabe bestseller _The Man Plan_, which tells gals how
to get guys no matter what, told Fox & Friends this morning that poor
spelling in email messages "turns guys off." Her book includes a table of
correct spellings, such as "your" and "their," she said.
Casey weighed in against the use of "lol" ("laughing out loud"), warning
that "Guys hate 'lol'!"
"What you should use instead of 'lol' is 'pimp,' which means 'peeing in my
pants'! All the kids are using it!"
