Try some abbreviations that are more germain or teenager unknown.
gc or GC =gift card
geo = geographic (restricted to certain Prov/territory/regions to long to list)
19< =19 years old and under/younger
21> =21 years old and over/older
K =a unit of a thousand eg:$5K= $5000 or five thousand dollars
The rest would be teenage friendly.
b =be
ur =your
2 = too
fr. = from
