The shortening of words and adding of numbers, usually used on an instant messenger service, that makes you look incredibly stupid. Usually makes no sense, and is hard to decipher. Rarely paired with correct spelling and punctuation. Also known as idiotspeak.

Get the reality chatspeak mug.Related Words
chavspeak • Chatspeak • reality chatspeak • chav • Chav girl • Chav-emo • Chav Hunting • chav chariot • Chav / Chavette • Chav baiting
Something stupid that's VERY hard to read. And it's really annoying. I mean it's faster to type, "Are you going to the park?" rather than "r u gng 2 da prk 2dy?"
Most chatspeak can be put into categoreis. Let's use "Want to go to the movies with me?"
girly - wnt to go to daa moviiis 2niite?
Characteristics: uses 'i' alot and stretches it out. example: todaii, mii, okii. sometimes says "u wus" instead of "you were".
inverted: wAnT 2 gO 2 dA mOViEz 2NiTe?
I honestly don't see how tying like that is faster.
z's and numbers: wnt 2 go 2 daz moviz 2nitz?
says "z" alot and uses numbers to replace words.

Get the chatspeak mug.I coined the word chatspeak in a published article (Glendale News Press, CA) in October of 1998.
Originally chatspeak was the abbreviated language used in online chatrooms, and it has now evolved into the abbreviated language used in texting and tweeting.
Here is the beginning of the op-ed piece I wrote in 1998:
CHATSPEAK ARRIVES
I was writing a memo at work the other day, and I wanted to make sure the recipient knew I was kidding. So I followed the sentence with lol.
And I froze.
omg, I thought.
That was the precise moment I realized how chatspeak was creeping into my every-day vocabulary.
And I wondered how long it would take this cybershorthand to sneak into everyone’s language.
Like like.
By my calculation, it took about 15 years for like to make it from Valspeak to the general population.
Er, …perhaps this would be a good place to stop and explain to the uninitiated.
Lol is short for laughing out loud; and omg is short for omigod, which is short for, like, Oh My God!
These terms have evolved during the past few years among those who visit chat rooms online. A form of shorthand is necessary because there's limited space and time to write your comments.

Get the chatspeak mug.Chatzpeak (or netspeak) is a popular internet dialect that originated in the 90s & 00s. It's characterized by shortening + abbreviation of words, use of z instead of s, and sometimes da instead of the. (Note: chatspeak sounds cool as all fuck and I wish I were better at it. Fuck all you saying it sounds bad)
Popular words:
Girls: Girlz
Boys: Boyz
You: U
Be: B
Are: R
Talk to you later: TTYL
Friends: Frenz
