The Younger You Are, The Better You'll Do On This Texting Quiz

"LOL" kind of transcends its initials at this point, but if you don't know what it originally stood for, this quiz is going to be very hard for you.

Laugh out loud

I'm not saying clouds can't be sexy, but peach, eggplant, and droplet emojis are pretty much exclusively sexual at this point.

Cloud With Lightning and Rain

Which of these emojis is least likely to mean something sexual?

You are taking a quiz RN. Sorry if you're a confused nurse RN.

Right now

Using periods and "k" are each red flags on their own, but together? Oof.

Upset

How is this person feeling?

"I'm screaming," "I can't," and "I'm dead" are all similar to OMG, but "Hooty hoo" is something I mutter quietly to make myself laugh.

Hooty hoo

Green means the messages aren't iMessage, which usually means you're texting an Android user.

The second person doesn't have an iPhone

What's probably true based on this exchange?

Ellipses mean you're annoyed, sad, or some other kind of unhappy. If you use these a lot for no reason, I do think you're angry with me and it haunts me.

Is it fine?

A laughing emoji is better if you want to ROFL. But if you were wondering how to convey sarcasm through text, it's with the upside-down smiley.

Rolling on the floor laughing

In which of these situations does an upside-down smiley NOT make sense?

"Mood," "that's a vibe," and "oh me" are all ways to say "I relate," while "valid" is more like "that's understandable."

Valid

For when periods are too serious and exclamation points are too intense.

Punctuation lol

On top of its literal meaning, what do people use "lol" as?

You have major Boomer energy, which, like, okay, you're valid and everything. But please be careful not to text like you're mad all the time. When you text me "fine..." I am already crying.

Boomer

You could be anything from an out-of-touch millennial to a pretty cool Gen X'er. You get the basics of texting, but you're not totally meme- and emoji-savvy.

Young-ish

You're definitely a cool young person. You don't need words to communicate when you have textspeak, emojis, and memes.
