What does dwu mean when texting? --StEP YA C00kiES UhP;*;; --bEfO dEY CRUMblE;*;;

The most popular meaning of DWU is "Don't Wait Up," meaning you're running late and don't want the other person stuck waiting for you.

A bit of a trivia, the world's first text message was sent from a computer to a cellphone by British engineer, Neil Papworth. As reported by CTV News, Papworth sent the text message to his boss on December 03, 1992. It read: "Merry Christmas" and this single text message revolutionized the way we communicate.

With the popularity of text-based communications came the emergence of a new text language. Check out a list of text abbreviations here.
