My mom grounded me once for telling her to stfu, and when my friend group all decided we were going to change our names online to $c3n3 $lutzz I lost internet for a week. I’ll have to go through old messages to find all of the stupid phrases and slang terms we used! 

The only one that I really remember offhand otherwise is ‘lunchbox,’ so like, when someone thought something was REALLY funny we would say it was lunchin’ and if you couldn’t stop laughing you were a lunchbox. xD

 I do not really think this is early 2000s slang but I like using XD more than using the laughing crying emoji. I didn't get access to the internet til the early 2000s was over with :/

I remember the cool side of 2000s slang to be only on the internet, like we had the best smileys and wrote in weird ways. In rl, everyone was saying shit like 'faggot' like it was nothing.

Hopefully that hits some notes! Feels like forever since I've used any of that slang, but I do hold tight to those text emoticons. I used them so much its muscle memory at this point. xD

Quick question, was vamping ever a term used to describe staying up all night texting someone? I got grounded for doing this once (I wasn't allowed to go to literally the coolest birthday party of the year. anyways im def not still bitter about it) and an adult in my life told me this was called vamping. She wasn't that much older than me so I thought what she said was true but ever since then I have never in my life heard anyone say this ever again.

Here in PR I remember a lot 

Raitrú (for real, really), 
Mamao (idiot) 
and the overuse of Mamey(is a fruit but we use it to describe overly simple stuff that can be done with no much effort

Context:
¡Ah pero decirlo es un mamey!
(Saying is a Mamey, used in the context of superficial effort with no actual action taken.)

We used to use the term "PA" for Parent Alert on AIM when our parents were in the room lol


Also "Owned" or "Pwned" whenever someone had a funny comeback on the forums

Lylas/lylab (love you like a sister/brother) was used a lot too

This is more late 2000s and early 2010s but sometimes I still say "I can't even" or "on fleek". I rarely hear anyone saying it, but that's just me :/

I started using the word G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) when referring to my best friend back in 2007. Haven't seen him since the 5th grade, but I think he's still active on Facebook so I could try looking up his name.

"I did it for the lulz", and "prommie" come to mind (I was on Gaia Online religiously back in the day). Oh, and then there was 1337 speak, and using the word "sick" to describe something awesome. Some of us were even saying yeet before 2010 (to describe excitement--it wasn't used as a verb yet like it is today).
