carl0s Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 They just said on Radio 2 that POS means Parent Over Shoulder. Did you know that? It's always meant piece of s.. to me. Jeremy Vine said to the lady "do you know what lol means?" she said "Lots of love?" . Then he said "Do you know what POS means". I was waiting for him to say what it meant and was a bit surprised. Those frickin' teenagers are taking over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 POS always meant Point of Sales (at least to me it did)....shrug Mind you, I'm lucky, no need for POS in our house, the layer 7 firewall gets rid of all swear words and I'm seriously tempted to modify it slightly so it substitues words... that should wind up the step-daughter a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The config file for that only allows me to select a single character though. I too wanted to have it replace with happy gay words or something. The teenager's friends still haven't worked out why everything comes through as *s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I heard that radio 2 interview.... The 'expert' who was warning of the dangers of Facebook etc didn't even know what LOL meant. POS for me (and players of EVE) means 'player owned station' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
