"Tittles"

The other night I went to my sister Dawn’s house while my parents were there. While we were sitting around the table talking, my mom casually scoots over and asks me in all seriousness:
“What’s this tittles I hear about?”
“What?”
“Tittles. Everybody’s talking about it. You know - (and she slows her whisper and then empathizes on the word) --T*I*T*T*L*E*S-- What is it?”
I gave her a blank stare and thought for a moment... And then it hit me:
“You mean, TWITTER?”
I had to explain this to someone who has no inkling about any type of networking sites or even the internet alone. I know many of you who read me already know her lingos. Let me put this one on my list...
Internet = intercom
Laptop = blacktop
Text messaging = tex’ mexing’
Google = Goggle
And now, Twitter = Tittles.
