Considering how rock and roll you were as a teenager, there wasn't enough black eye liner in the world to make you forget your manners. As soon as some randomer added you you would always say 'thanks for the add', although back in the day, there was a lot less graphemes there and more numbers. "Tnx 4 da add" - text speak was the coolest way to talk back in the day and if you thought that some words could do without certain letters, then you'd take them out - who fancied you for your intelligence anyway?
