G2G, R8: Do You Know These Number Slangs?

Ever since text messaging started on phones, teenagers have found all sorts of ways to shorten the words they use into smaller, more discrete ones. This helps them complete the sentence in a significantly less amount of space and keeps whatever they have hidden from people who are not familiar with the number slang.

So in this article today, we’ll go through all the famous number slangs out there while explaining what each of them means.

Part 1: Number Slang with the Digit 2

Check out the following number slang words containing the 2 digits:

G2G — “Got to Go”

G2G is a slang most commonly used in chat rooms and game lobbies. It’s a fast and effective way of saying that one wants to go and hurry. Since most people understand what the slang means, the person can comfortably log out without any further farewells.

Another variation of G2G is gtg which means the same thing, just without the number 2.

B2B — “Back to Back”

B2B stands for ‘back to back’ as in one after another. So it stands for things that take place back to back. B2B can also refer two people with their backs to each other.

B2B also has another meaning, ‘business to business’ when used in a professional environment. When referring to businesses, B2B refers to those businesses that deal with another organization instead of dealing with customers.

1234 — “I Love You.”

Although these four digits look like any other ordinary numbers, when used in chats, they often mean the words ‘i love you’ This meaning is derived from an old phrase that goes like this:

‘I have 1 thing 2 say: 3 words 4 you

2DAY — “Today.”

This one is simple enough to guess, and it refers to the word ‘2DAY’. Other variations refer to other days, such as 2mrw, meaning ‘tomorrow.’

420 — “Weed”

The number 420 is commonly associated with weed and has been for a long time now. When the calendar reaches the date 4/20, celebrations are held in various parts of the world where people gather and smoke their marijuana.

One origin explanation of 420 says that a group of Californian teenagers smoked weed every day at the time of 4:20 pm. However, time passed, and this specific time was changed to date on the calendar, so the annual celebrations began.

Part 2: Number slang with the digit 4

There are number slang words that start with the digit 4, and we have listed them here in this section:
