Make up your own abbreviations to reply is always fun. Or use out of context abbreviations. My abbreviation loving colleague was so confused when I used a few military terms they didn't know.

    It took a very long time to find out that "five by five" means "all is well." In fact, until I looked it up just now to confirm my memory, I didn't know it was derived from aviation.

    I knew the aviation context before I looked it up because of StarCraft.

    Probably I heard it there, as I played extensively as a kid, but I guess I never absorbed it.

    edit: I still am not sure if I like FUTO as a keyboard, but I'm not a fan of it randomly inserting words. Here I have removed one of those.
