			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Imglish is a real-time language. Often you&#8217;re back and forth with someone on another computer or  mobile phone. It&#8217;s important to let the other person know when you are leaving so as not to leave them hanging. My favourite sign-off is ttfn or ta ta for now, a Britishism in circulation long before the days of instant messaging or mobile phones. Here are some more IMglish sign-offs. Notice how some are abbreviations while others are distilled phonetic versions* of the phrase.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>                     BBBG</strong>                                           &#8211; bye bye be good</p>
<p align="left"><strong>CUL8R </strong>- See you later*</p>
<p align="left"><strong>CYA </strong>- See ya*</p>
<p align="left"><strong>CU</strong> &#8211; See you*</p>
<p align="left"><strong>                     BBIAB</strong>                                           &#8211; be back in a bit</p>
<p align="left"><strong>BBIAS</strong>                                           &#8211; be back in a sec</p>
<p align="left"><strong>                     BBL</strong>                                           &#8211; be back later</p>
<p align="left"><strong>                     BBML</strong>                                           &#8211; be back much later</p>
<p align="left"><strong>                     BCNU</strong>                                           &#8211; I’ll be seeing you*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">The world is abuzz with buzz words these days and a typist has all she can do just to keep up. The Buzz is a new series for Tuesdays. It is offered to keep you stay abreast of the latest buzzwords bombarding the language.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>NINJA loans:</strong> The lending industry latest offering: No Income, No Job or Assets required</p>
<p align="left"><strong>aquadextrous: </strong>The ability to turn the bath faucet on and off with your feet.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>pet parent: </strong>Feel-good term for pet owners that supposedly elevates the<br />
relationship between them and their animals to a higher level. (Subtle reminder for &#8220;pet parents&#8221;: The law doesn&#8217;t require you to have a license to have children, but you do have to have one                  for your dog.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Hummer house:</strong> A huge and architecturally inappropriate house built in an existing                  neighborhood destroying the aesthetic integrity of said neighborhood.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Newpeat:</strong> The showing of a previously aired TV episode that is now  considered &#8220;new&#8221; because it has additional scenes or is simply two episodes edited into single longer episode. Example:  &#8220;Did                  you see the &#8216;Heroes&#8217; newpeat last night?&#8221;</p>
<p align="left"><strong>WYGIWYG:</strong> What You Get Is What You Get or What You Got Is What You Get. A take-off on WYSIWYG &#8211; What You See Is What You Get</p>
<p align="left"><strong>locked tool box:</strong> When a company has the right tools, systems, computers, etc., but lacks skilled employees that can put them to good use.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>CFNO:  </strong>(Chief Financial Officer) whose answer always seems to be &#8220;No&#8221; no matter how large or small the purchase request.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>kleptonarcissist: </strong>Someone so vain that he/she compulsively steals glances of himself/herself in                  any nearby reflective surface &#8211; mirrors, polished cars, etc.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Jet Blued:</strong> To spend more time sitting on the runway than in the air. &#8220;I got Jet Blued this weekend.&#8221;</p>
