During WWII all letters home from the troops were censored. This there was to be no mention of troop movement allowed, or mention of impending leave, to wives or girlfriends. Like all humans who hate censorship, they developed codes to let their partners know they were due home on leave.
ie. KOUTSML
They who are of my vintage and either an Aussie or a POM will have heard of the various codes. Using “internet speak” is hardly a new linguistic phenomen.

@Algernon….I like the Irish Password. ie.
‘Who goes there, friend or foe?’
“Friend.”
‘What’s the password friend?’
“I don’t know.”
‘Pass friend.’

Stairs go up, congestion goes downlink. You can’t explain that.

Is the password password?
