via GIPHY4. Borrow your friend's phone, replace the shortcut for a commonly used word or phrase. For example, you could replace “business” with “brownie”, so that every time they use the shortcut, 'brownie' show up. You could also swap contact information and watch as they go by their day, utterly confused and frustrated.
