    Could mean several things.

    "Not Much"
    "Nevermind"
    "Newton Metres" 😀

    'Not much' apparently.

    It is making my head hurt (why did my brother buy her an iPhone for her birthday)?

    (And why did I show her how to get MSN on it)? (Ironic LOL)

    I can cope with text speak when online chatting as it quicker thatn typing (some times) but just don't get the point of saying it.

    I don't mind BRB, LOL, LMAO etc but I just felt I had been ushered into the inner sanctum of textspeak when chatting like that – I had genuinely no idea what (amongst many other abbreviations) wuu2 meant!!!!

    As they said on Mock the Week last week, it's like the language in 'A Clockwork Orange'. 🙂
