It means nothing to me. If my memory serves me correctly, it was a nonsensical statement that Lwaxana Troi taught to Lt. Worf's son in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Contrary to popular belief this usage is not lazy or indecent nor is it as recent as many of you seem to think. At least as far back as the time of the American Revolution pls or plz was used in place of please in correspondence , again after the introduction of the telegraph, and most recently with the advent of text messaging, and all for the same reason, cost. During the early days of our country both paper and ink were expensive, so there were accepted methods of abbreviation to cram as much information into a letter as possible pls (or plz) was one example of this. When sending telegrams you were charged by the word (as in typing every 5 characters not actual words) so once again pls was used (among many other shortcuts u for you and so on) to make the sending of a message as cost effective as possible. As for text messaging, when first introduced, you may recall, we were charged per message we sent, so cutting letters out of messages meant a single text could be sent instead of two. It became a habit that carried over onto the internet, even though the need for the abbreviation no long exists,,,,to be fair though I am fairly sure you type OK or okay instead of Orl Korrekt which is the widely accepted original phrase the abbreviation came from, so can you really cast stones?

The higher you think your importance in the world is, the fewer true friends you really have.
The higher you get in school, the fewer years you have left.
The higher you are in age, the fewer healthy days you have.
I have no idea....lol

Very simple. It's like saying if you're to achieve anything higher in life than there are few people there with you. Another words, only very few can be millionaires or Billionaires. So it's like saying the view is nice up there but you could be lonely as well.

The higher up I go in age, the fewer brain cells I have left. (After 30, they sough off at an alarming rate!) lol

The higher you are, the less you count things. Seriously! How many times have you counted Doritos while under the influence of a mind altering substance?

I think that it means the higher an accomplishment, the fewer people there are that have that accomplishment.
