Funny black 70th birthday tee with a retro 70 Year Old Texting Code chart of silly acronyms, a laugh-out-loud gift for a new septuagenarian.
The story behind this design
A big cream-colored 70 with an orange drop shadow sits at the top of this black tee, followed by Year Old Texting Code on a retro banner with stacked stripes. Underneath is a full glossary of made-up acronyms in orange and cream. BFF becomes Best Friend Fell, BTW means Bring The Wheelchair, GHA is Got Heartburn Again, and TTYL turns into Talk To You Louder. There are thirteen entries in all, each one a gentle poke at dentures, hearing aids and recliners. The seventies-style type and warm colors keep it affectionate rather than mean, so the laughs land kindly.
Who it's for
Picture Grandpa at his seventieth, reading the list out loud and pausing on Laughing My Dentures Out until the whole table groans. It suits the man or woman who texts in all caps and actually enjoys a joke at their own expense. Kids and grandkids tend to give it as a birthday present, then ask for a photo.
