I guess it’s just a matter of what’s “normal” with folks around you, particular as a kid. I certainly wasn’t in a slang heavy group of kids in general. We texted with (near) proper grammar and full sentences and also found the “r u k? bb” kind of stuff pretty cringe-worthy.
Oh, then you’re not a millennial. We didn’t HAVE texting in 1995. You sound like you’re talking about mid 2000s. By then I was in my mid-20s. So not exactly the time period where it was “my time” for new slang.
My grandfathers generation called money “bacon”. As in, he brought home the bacon. My dads genneration called money Chedder. My generation called it lettice.

I don’t want mayonaise on my sandwich.
