hehe to you, too.

"leet speak". It looks like someone young had too much time on their hands. I remember developing (along with a few friends) "backwards talking" in the eleventh grade (and it, too, was kewel), but it died a merciful death, only to be resurrected on Saturday Night Live or some other TV show over a decade later. I wouldn't be surprised if "pig latin" and "double dutch" got their start from teenagers with nothing to do.

Oops! I see I'm decidedly off-thread. "A nd like I'm not going back to my airless garret to practice my backwards speech, neither."
