What does ''cockle-picker'' mean?
2007-03-01 03:11:09 · update #1
Well,
1* yeh im fyne thanx = yes I'm fine thanks
but notice that the spelling is not right ..it's only written according to it's pronunciation
2*lol = laugh out load & we use it when we say something funny or the other person say something funny.
similar abbreviations:
brb = be right back "we use it to say to the other person that you will leave him/her for a minute and come back again"
the answer on brb is usually
tyt = take your time
wb= welcome back
gtg = got to go "it means that you have to go ,to leave and meet the person next time"
some times the answer is
tc = take care
asl = age,sex ,location "it's the first question you ask it to other peolpl in chat "
some other times it's (asln) = age ,sex,location,name
u = you
r = are
I think that's what I remember for now.
Hope it helps.
Good luck

A 'cockle-picker' is someone who goes out onto the seashore at low tide and picks up cockles (small, edible shellfish) to sell.
There was a big scandal a few years ago in England when a group of these people drowned as the tide came in and it was found they had been employed by illegal gangmasters who didn't give them any proper training, warning about tides, etc.

well if sum1 asked u "how r u?" u cud say " yeh im fine thanx" it means ur just saying ur ok ur doing good, lol is more computer language and it means laugh out loud, another 1 to ask if sum1 is ok but be careful as not everybody wud like u saying it, best to go for the people who look common as common people like myself speak slang, that is "alright mate" we call children kids, ya means u so u could say to sum1 "wot ya doin?" or "how ya doin" god theres so many and i speak it all the time but now its asked i cant remember much plus its late ( 12:50 am). well im goin 2 bed hope ive been of help to u.

when you ask an English person "how are you" they normally reply "I'm fine thanks"
lol could mean either love you lots or laugh out loud
unfortunately there was an incident where some illegal immigrants who were working as cockle picklers were drown its possible that someone is relating to that

1. Yes, I am fine thank you
2. Lots of Laughs
I wouldn't say more because people who use them are stupid or lazy. They offload the effort of reading their message to the reader.
