Police have revealed what the 'CU46' code means as Netflix's latest series, Adolescence, raises questions about secret phrases on kids' phones
The plot of the 'disturbing' four-part series in question, which stars Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, and new talent Owen Cooper, follows a devoted father named Eddie Miller (Graham), whose life is turned upside-down when his 13-year-old son Jamie (Cooper) is arrested for the violent murder of one of his female classmates.
The TV programme, which only dropped on Netflix last week (13 March), tackles a number of extremely topical subjects like misogyny, incels, the online 'manosphere', toxic masculinity and children's safety when it comes to social media.
Adolescence creator Graham even issued a harrowing warning to parents himself as he told The Independent that caregivers need to be 'mindful' of the impact external influences may have on their children.
He explained: "It's just being mindful of the fact that not only we parent our children, and not only the school educates our children.
"But also there's influences that we have no idea of that are having profound effects on our young culture, profound effects, positive and extremely negative. So it’s having a look at that and seeing that we’re all accountable."
Talking of parental warnings, Nottinghamshire Police have now defined a load of common terms the youth of today apparently use on their devices as the 'hidden' meanings behind popular emojis was revealed.
Adolescence introduces Owen Cooper as Jamie Miller in the hit drama series (Netflix) Now, there may be a number of abbreviations and acronyms parents are aware about and even use themselves from time to time.
From 'GTG' (got to go) and 'LOL' (laugh out loud) all the way through to 'WUU2' (what you up to) and 'TTYL' (talk to you later) - it's clear this kind of text-speak is incredibly popular and it's increasingly more and more common especially amongst teens on their phones.
But such language and code words are seemingly all developing with ones many have never even heard of like 'CU46', 'CD9', 'GNOC' or 'IWSN' now apparently making their rounds on social media platforms.

'FYEO' means 'for your eyes only' and is assumingly used in regards to sending illicit photos, while 'GNOC' stands for 'get naked on camera'.
There's also 'IWSN' which apparently means 'I want sex now', 'NIFOC' which means 'naked in front of computer', and 'P911' or 'P999' which warns that 'parents are watching'.
There's also KPC, which means 'keep parents clueless'.
Adolescence is currently available to stream on Netflix.
