Get the atbkamug. IMHO IYHO is a game that two people can play through any texting medium.
It is role-playing game for two people who play as the Egotist (E) and the Satirist (S).
The Egotist initiates play by typing:
's1' IMHO
where 's1' is a statement that is anything but humble.
The Satirist responds with
IYHO s2
Where s2 seems like a compliment to E because he is an Egotist, but is in fact a small work of satire.
Anyone can issue a call to play IMHO IYHO by simply ending a message with IMHO. They can even issue the invitation without knowing it and when the Satirist responds with a IYHO they are off to the races even if the player issuing the invitation has no idea what is going on.
Notes:
1) IMHO = In My Humble Opinion and IYHO = In Your Humble Opinion. I have to tell you this because you're too lazy to look it up, IMHO.
2) You can issue a call for someone to play as an egotist by simply sending IMHO with no s1. This is called a "null IMHO" and it the equivalent of saying, "I have a great knock-knock joke. Start it off."
3) The game is pronounced "I'm ho, Eww ho." A player is referred to as a ho and two of them are "a pair of hos."

Trump: I would have to give myself an A+ when it comes to the bigness of my IQ quotient, IMHO.
Adams: IYHO there is no question you deserve to win in November since your smarts is the biggerest.
Trump: You should write a book about how bigly I'll win, IMHO.
Adams: IYHO a satirist should write a book about how great you. Good idea. Anyway, I've enjoyed playing IMHO IYHO with you.
Trump: So, you saw me with that pair of hos on TV. I agree, those hos were so eww; I've been with 10 times better, IMHO.

Get the IMHO IYHOmug. Cocktail.
Recipe:
3 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Diströya Spirits
1/2 Ice Cube
You order a double by indicating you want a whole ice cube. Scale appropriately (e.g., if ordered with two ice cubes, scale by four). Illegal in most states.

First Person: I'll have a Sam Adams and my friend will have a Lucky Destroyer with one ice cube.
Second Person: Ooooh, that sounds interesting, but I want three ice cubes. Why is it called that?
Barman: Because one of you is going to get lucky and the other is going to get destroyed.
Second Person: Well, let's stop after this one drink.
First Person: That was the plan.

Get the Lucky Destroyermug. E - means “everything” or more specifically, “Assume I’ve just told you everything you could possibly learn about me by other means and there is nothing more I might want to say.” The shortest possible conversation starter and ender. Saves considerable time and it deserves to be widely adopted.
Entomology: Before there was texting there was telegraphy. To save time, Morse code operators created abbreviations. For example: CQ means “Does anyone want to talk to me,” DE means “From,” OP means “operator,” QTH means “my location is,” and K means “over” (your turn to transmit).
In Morse a “dot” is three times as long as a “dash.” The shortest letter is “E” which is a single dot. The number 0 is “_ _ _ _ _”, 9 is “_ _ _ _ .” and 1 is “. _ _ _ _” so if a number was expected in context, then “cut letters” were substituted. For example Zero became “T” (a single dash), 9 became N (_ .) and 1 became. The area code 901 could be sent as NTA.

Before the internet, a Morse code conversation between two amateur radio operators might go like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K (WB6ACU wants to see if anyone wants to talk to him)
WB6ACU DE N6YOS K (N6YOS says she would like to. This is followed by a preliminary exchange of names and locations before much else is said.)
N6YOS DE WB6ACU OP IS JOE QTH IS STUDIO CITY CA K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS OP IS PRISCILLA QTH IS NASHVILLE TN K
But now with the internet, you can google any call sign and learn everything there is to know about anyone, so a more efficient way communicating goes like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K
AB6ACU DE N6YOS K
N6YOS DE WB6ACU E K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS E K
… at this point both operators are free to see if anyone else wants to talk to them...

Get the Emug. The act of putting a silent “p” in front of a word so that one can create a new word that is pronounced exactly the same way so as to distinguish it from all other instances of the same word. A psmithsized word can mean exactly the same thing, something completely different or anything in between.
The word was first coined by Rupert Psmith, a much loved fictional character from phumor writer P. G. Wodehouse. According to Psmith himself, the P is silent “as in pshrimp” and he added it to distinguish himself from other Smiths. Some scholars believe that the “P.” in P. G. Wodehouse was in fact a psmithization by G. Wodehouse, however others believe this ptheory is a bunch of pbaloney.
Needless to say, psmithisize is pronounced the same way as smithisize although it means something completely different.

Bob: Honey, now that we've both read Cat's Cradle you'll have to admit that we form a duprass. We're clearly a karass of two people with a bond so strong that even our children cannot invade our union.
Carol: No way. While it's true that neither of us care squat about the kids, Bokonism claims that the two members of a duprass die within a week of each other. Not me, babe. You kick the bucket and I'm finding myself a new squeeze post-haste.
Bob: All that kicking off together is just foma but just to make it clear, let's psmithisize it and say we are members of the same pduprass. Deal?
Carol: Deal.

Get the psmithisizemug. A process of making something stupid because that is what Google says it is.
For Example: If you put “Reductio ad Absurdum” into Google Translate it detects the language as Latin, and translates it to English as: “Reductio ad Absurdum.”
Another Example: For years (through May 29, 2018 at least) if you ask Google "What does it mean to be an American?" it responds with this as the first answer (in a box even):
"It means that I can say "The Pledge of Allegiance" and that I can vote for the President, my county clerk, and the Mayor. But to me it means most of all to be free and to be proud that I live in the United States of America here in Wisconsin."
Dig deeper and you'll find it is written by an 10-year-old who, in addition to thinking that the U. S. is in Wisconsin, does not know that to be an American means she is free to NOT say the pledge and that she has 10 years to go before she can vote.
Thank you Google for establishing a 10-year-old as the #1 expert on what it means to be a patriot. Way to go.

If we're going to Make America Great Again we've got to stop all this Reductio ad Absurdum going on.

Get the Reductio ad Absurdummug. To eat ridiculously expensive trendy snacks with no nutritional value that look like they taste bad but are actually delicious (albeit just as unhealthy as breaded Twinkies deep fried in lard). Practiced mostly by the wealthy, highly paid Unix programmers and college students burning through student loans.
Gnnosh is a recursive acronym for: “Gnnosh's Not Nosh.”

My student loan came through so for $18 I'll upgrade the fries and gnnosh on the deep fried Peruvian Rain Forest Yucca Chips with Pink Hawaiian Sea Salt.
