Hahaha! Of course, I’m really not judging because I like to use acronyms and spell things wrong on purpose in chats and messages as well. “ I JUST LIKE TO LEAVE VOWELS OUT GOD IDK WHY COZ ITS QT!” When I asked my dear 15-year-old friend (who is actually quite an intelligent individual, as are many of the individuals who post comments on ONTD using tons of acronyms) why she types in acronyms and purposely spells words incorrectly, she responded with this: Of course no one would actually write an entire sentence with strictly acronyms (well I hope not anyway). “ ILU IMU LIKE SRSLY YOU’RE MY BFFL BB.” Translation:I love you, i miss you, seriously you’re my best friend for life baby. “ JSYK IDGAF TBH that was TMI so just STFU IDC.” Translation: Just so you know I don’t give a f*ck, to be honest that was too much information so just shut the f*ck up, I don’t care. “ LOL OMG THAT WAS SRSLY FTW LAWLS ILYSM and IAWTC NGL.” Translation: (Haha) oh my god that was seriously for the win (haha) I love you so much and I agree with this completely, not gonna lie. What some of these random slang words sound like:īasically these days an entire sentence that is understandable to the Internet public can be written with mostly acronyms! You can also add “f” (eff) to many acronyms such as LMFAO & OMFG. LAWLS & LULS – variations of “lol” LMAOSAURUS & ROFLCOPTER – variations of “lmao” and “rofl” WEAKSAUCE & LAMESAUCE – that is weak, that is lame OM NOM NOM – the sound one makes when they are eating something very fast or chomping What these 4 or More Letter acronyms sound like: IDGI – I don’t get it IJAF – it’s just a fact STFU – shut the eff up JSYK – just so you know TTFN – ta ta for now TTYL – talk to you later TTYS – talk to you soon AWOL – absent without leave / missing SRSLY – seriously BFFL – best friends for life (BIFFLE) IDGAF – I don’t give a eff AFAIK – as far as I know BBSOL – be back sooner or later IAWTC – I agree with this completely ILYSM– I love you so much IRL – in real life NGL – not gonna lie IDK – i don’t know IDC – i don’t care IKR – i know right FML – eff my life BBL – be back later MTE – my thoughts exactly IMO – in my opinion AFK – away from keyboard ASL – age sex location BFF – best friends forever TMI – too much information TBH – to be honest TBA – to be announced TIA – thanks in advance ETA – edited to add FTW – for the win FTL – for the lose ATM – at the moment BFD – big effing deal SOL – shit outta luck O I C – oh I see SRS – serious FWB – friends with benefits AWK – awkward ESP – especially DEF – definitely OBV – obviously HDU – how dare you ILH – i love him or i love her JK – just kidding JC – just checking H/O – hold on DL – down low OT – off topic QT – cutie BB – baby TY – thank you YW – you’re welcome NP – no problem WB – welcome back W/E – whatever W/O – without
LOL – laughing out loud LMAO – laughing my ass off ROFL – rolling on floor laughing OMG – oh my god WTF – what the eff BRB – be right back BTW – by the way FYI – for your information IMU – i miss you ILU/ILY– i love you (with some input by a frequent ONTD-goer, Tanvi G.) Compiled thanks to the assistance of the very helpful Kelly D. What I did was enlist the help of a 15-year-old, Generation Y, really Internet savvy girl who could tell me what these strange words meant and help me compile a list of currently commonly used acronyms!Īnd that’s what the following is, my compilation of some current commonly used Internet slang.
What did that mean I had to do? No, not go out and buy one of those tween acronym Internet books. Needless to say, I needed to learn what these “new” acronyms meant. I’ve always considered myself Internet savvy and having a pretty good handle on Internet trends and what not, but here was a pile of acronyms that I had no clue the meaning of!! Was I getting too old? I’m only 19 for godsake. But then I started seeing ones I’ve never ever seen before, ones like NGL, IDGAF, IDGI, etc. I understood the basic ones, you know – LOL, WTF, ROFL, OMG, etc. I’ve become rather addicted to reading comments on the blog’s posts, I think in large part to the fact that they are usually witty, snarky, and are accompanied by one or several Internet slang acronyms. Now one of the great things about ONTD is the users and their hilarious comments. Lately I’ve been frequenting the ONTD Celebrity Blog on an overly-regular basis.
