What do you call the slang that you write on your mobile phone

Hi,


How do you call the slang that you write on your mobile phone? For example when you send an sms to somebody or when you an instant message on messenger. Most words are slangs or cut words. How do you call that ?



Thank you,



Claude.

I call it rubbish. You can find some more exquisite vocabulary in our rules (namely number 21).
