I was in a coffee shop the other day and overheard a few high school kids talking about what it might be like if we all spoke face-to-face as we did over IM or in a text message.

One girl piped up, exclaiming, "IDK, My BFF Jill," sending the group laughing over a recent pop culture phenomenon available on YouTube.

Watch these funny Cingular commercial portayals of what some common IM acronyms might sound like if applied in real-life:

"IDK, My BFF Jill?" Commercial

"IDK, My BFF Rose?" Commerical
