Internet Acronyms and Abbreviations You May Not Know The Meaning Of

I’ve seen a lot of new words and terms in the internet this year (including SMS and other forms of digital communication), and really, I had to Google most of the internet slang or I had to have someone explain it to me. These were the cases when I see someone call another their bae, tweets sepanx or says that they’re bored af.

To give everyone a refresher on some of the most used in the internet that we’ve encountered, we listed those that might interest you down below with examples beside the difficult ones to put them in better context:

• AF – as f*ck: “I’m bored af.”
• BAE– before anyone else: “I miss my bae.” (also danish for poop, FYI)
• FFTB – fresh from the bathroom
• FML – f*ck my life
• FTW – for the win
• GG – good game
• HF – high five
• ICYMI– in case you missed it: “ICYMI, here’s our review of the Asus ZenFone 5.”
• IYKWIM – if you know what I mean
• LMK – let me know
• KOTD – kicks of the day
• Meh – mediocrity: “The food was… meh.”
• NP – no problem
• NVM – never mind
• OTP – one true pair
• OOTD – outfit of the day
• Sepanx – separation anxiety
• Ship – To endorse a romantic relationship, usually used in fandom context: “I ship Lelouch / C.C.”
• SNAFU – situation normal, all f*cked up
• TMI – too much information
• TWD – texting while driving
• TYVM – thank you very much
• YOLO – you only live once

There’s obviously more, and we no longer included the very basic ones such as OMG, WTF, ASL, TBH and IMHO. If we missed anything new, recent and hip, feel free to drop it down below!
