Hello,

ha ha this is funny, thanks for posting, DanaC

Thanks Lumberjim for your response, but they use this code along with things like ILU, IWU, INU.. therefore I think it must be some kinds of love languages.

If anyone know, please let me know.

Thanks a lot.
Loss.

I laughed, but it was a bit like following two languages I don't understand... I got a headache.

They are using the language that kids in england put on to be cool. But doing it with wartime BBC English inflections.

I see this on a forum where a couple use this to response to each other. I thought that's kinda cute although don't know what's that mean.
Please let me know,
Thanks.

can you link to the forum/post, or is it a dodgy site? Or are they private emails you're trying to decipher?

Could be the number of letters in each word in a set phrase e.g. 143 means "I love you"? Maybe 293 means "Up Chocolate Way"?

WHO IS MAN'S BEST FRIEND?

A dog is truly a man's best friend.
If you don't believe it, just try this experiment.
Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour.
When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you!?

Hello Monster,

Thanks for your response. Sorry i can't link the forum but it is not private email. However it is good to know that 143 means i love you (is it really so, because I'd like to use it).
What is "up chocolate way" means anyway?

Thanks again.
Have fun, 143.

Loss.

P.s
If possible, please explain to me how is this "the number of letters in each word in a set phrase" work?

I learned that on Mr. Rogers. It's true, but like most words, it only works if the other person knows it too.

What's your story, loss? I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

She's only guessing that 143 might mean "I love you." And "up chocolate way" was a joke, it means nothing. It was just a funny group of words that had the right number of letters.

I = 1 letter
L-O-V-E = 4 letters
Y-O-U = 3 letters

Dude, how did you get here already? Do you always come so fast? Do you have a special tool? You know, a browser thing that alerts you to high euphemism potential words like chocolate? Or is your tool Sheldon-centric?
