Microsoft, in an effort to help parents understand what their little script kiddies are typing, developed a guide to understanding "leetspeak." They got a lot of it right, but ultimately, I couldn't stop snickering while reading it. My mirth was mostly due to my remembering when a lot of that slang was coming into practice (I'm such an old man).
I found it amusing that the guide warns parents that the use of certain words and phrases may indicate that their "teenager is involved in the theft of intellectual property, particularly licensed software."
I can just imagine, "Son! Where did you learn to download that pirated software?!?"
"From you, alright?! I learned it from watching you!"
