What Did We Say before Texting and Social Media?

Numeronyms were used long before the digital era. Many of the early numeronyms, like 143 and 637, were written on the envelopes of letters between lovers. They were often a coded message between the sender and the recipient, thought to allow secret expressions of love or passion. (In the case of 1312, it was more an attempt to avoid arrest.)
