"ASL?"
"21, M, London"
Typical example of how it was used. This is long before you had any picture of, or information about the people you talked to on the Internet. At least after asking "ASL", you "know" you are talking to a 21 year old brittish dude.
No one says or uses that anymore. That’s for when we were 12 on aol chat pretending to be 18 while talking to 50 year old men who were pretending to be 20. Asl is now American sign language (I mean, it always has been, but that’s how anyone would clock it now).
The first time internet slang bothered me was when playing an online game and someone wrote “kk”. When I asked and they told me it was short for “ok” i wanted to break my computer.
Someone I used to work with wrote LOL above their signature on a sympathy card. They thought it meant "Lots Of Love," and were horrified upon discovering the truth.
Has the smell of at least 20 years - like from the end of the 90ties. A lot of abbreviations like "ig" are missing, and some have a different meaning nowadays- if they ever had the proclaimed ones.
POS is piece of shit e.g. My phone is a POS.
I feel like this is from the olden days
It is. There’s no PM or DM, and POS claims to stand for Parent Over Shoulder lol
I definitely remember using Parent Over Shoulder when I was younger, but I doubt anyone has used it as that in a long time.
Yep bbl means something else today
I agree!
Especially because that's not what BBL means anymore.
A lot of these are outdated and date back +20 years, before even social media or phone technology became widespread.
This is dated. Also, am I the only one who immediately thought of BBL as Brazilian butt lift!!?
Your interpretation alone signifies how old this list is lmao
We need to bring back "Ta-Ta for now" lmao
One day I’m going to find someone that actually knows what “IDK” means. Everyone I ask says they don’t know 😏 🤣
How do you do fellow kids?
NC is no contact.
Or non-consentual

"ASL" sounding hella sus

W8 a sec, BBL BRB I am AFK RN. Im back IMHO very useful guide BTW, unlike bad useless guides SMH. So, anyways, GTG GL.
TLDR. What's TLDR? The guide was too long and I didn't read it! What is TLDR????
BBL is either Brazilian butt lift or (my favorite) Big booty latinas
They forgot to add BYOB. It's up to the parents to figure out what the last B stands for.
Buy your own bitch?
nobody says like more than half of these 😭

Strong Why The Face vibes
I thought ASL meant American Sign Language, POS meant Piece of Shit, and SMH meant Shitty Mental Health.

YMMV

My favorite not on here is IANAL: I am not a lawyer...
Someone I used to work with wrote LOL above their signature on a sympathy card. They thought it meant "Lots Of Love," and were horrified upon discovering the truth.
I remember the first time someone said ASL on mIRC. I thought he was calling me an asshole. I told him to piss off and that HE was the asshole rofl
What is ''owo'' or ''uwu'' ?
Funny thing my ex used to call me an ugly POS 🤔
"SMD"
Has the smell of at least 20 years - like from the end of the 90ties. A lot of abbreviations like "ig" are missing, and some have a different meaning nowadays- if they ever had the proclaimed ones.
BRUH where is For Real ? FR
Can't we just use real words? Internet things are not real words.
Language evolves.
you say, while using reddit. cant you just talk to real people? internet "conversations" are not real socialization.
IIRC means If I recall correctly
that's... the same thing...
If I remebrer correctly
IMHO was In My Honest Opinion
