With the arrival of the mobile phone, young people developed the art of communicating with texting codes, like
LOL,
OMG,
TTYL, etc.
When we were younger, we used to do something similar by writing
SWALK or
ITALY on the back of the envelope to our messages to girl(boy)friends.
SWALK = Sealed With A Loving Kiss
ITALY = I Trust And Love You
Tony Hancock claimed in one of his early TV shows, that
OHMS stood for Our Hearts Merge Sweetheart.
