143 is based on the number of letters in each word of the phrase: I (1), love (4), you (3). The shorthand, as the story goes, dates back to the early 1900s from Minot’s Ledge lighthouse off the coast of Cohasset, Massachusetts. The story begins in 1895, when the lighthouse changed its flash pattern after a recommendation that all lighthouses have numerical flash sequences. The order, one quick flash, four flashes, then three flashes, was apparently chosen at random. In 1915, a new assistant lighthouse keeper, Winfield Scott Thompson, came to the Minot’s Ledge lighthouse. His family lived on a neighboring island and could see the flash of the lighthouse at night. According to legend, Mary Thompson, Winfield’s wife told their children that it was the I Love You flash, their father’s way of telling them how much he loved them from across the water. Each flash corresponded to the number of letters in each word of the phrase: I love you. This tale proved popular, so much so that the Minot’s Ledge lighthouse is nicknamed the I Love You lighthouse. Whether from the lighthouse or formed independently later in the century, the 143 code endured. Pagers were popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The devices had limited space for messages and not all supported text. As a workaround, people used codes like 411 for information or 911 to symbolize emergency. They also used 143 for I love you. 143 was also used in the early days of internet chatrooms and text-messaging.

And, for those of you that don’t remember pagers …

Beloved children’s TV host Fred Rogers, of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, was famously fond of the number 143, to the point his wife said he kept his weight at 143. He once notably explained the code to his deliveryman on his show.

sports.yahoo.com - Oystering: What is the new dating trend for 2022? - Yahoo! Sports

A new year means a new set of dating trends is on the horizon. Usually, said trends are coined to alert dating app users to cruel habits online, such as ghosting and breadcrumbing - the act of sending out flirtatious signals to make someone think you’re interested in them without committing. This year, though, dating trends have had a positive re-brand, with the first one to emerge offering single people plenty of hope. Introducing “Oystering” - the idea of seeing the world as your oyster after a breakup. Coined by dating app Badoo, the term came to light after its research found that almost half of single people (46 per cent) who have recently gone through a breakup feel excited to start dating again. Badoo’s Global Dating Expert, Sophie Mann, commented: “Dating is daunting after a relationship, but it doesn’t need to be.

“Ultimately, dating should be fun, and what better way to get over a break up than having some fun?

“We’ve seen many people getting back into dating, and we predict this new trend of seizing the ‘dating’ day will shine through as many singletons are feeling confident to go out there and get what they want.”

The new trend comes after the pandemic completely transformed the dating landscape.

In 2020, research found that an increasing number of married couples were filing for divorce. Leading British law firm Stewarts logged a 122 per cent increase in enquiries between July and October, while Charity Citizen’s Advice reported a spike in searches for online advice on ending a relationship.
