Took me forever to adapt to the sober variety of acronyms. AF having two meanings, HP not being Harry Potter (not my higher power…), ESH, etc.
Favourite teenage angst moment - that painful 12 minutes of waiting for my friend to respond to “what does brb mean?” in chat, thinking I did something to make them not want to talk to me anymore.

Lol classic
I know a couple but I read one the otherday that blew my mind… IYDMMA
Almost forgot about IANAL, IANAD as disclaimers. And it is refreshing to see @Yoda-Stevie write YMMV expanded into actual words.

If you don’t mind me asking?
‘If you don’t mind me asking’.
Which to me just seems so delightfully ironic because its a very polite thing to say said, in my opinion, the most half arsed way.

Best abbreviation…TTUN
I mean, It’s pretty formal, isn’t it? I’m not sure there are too many scenarios where it’d seem okay to abbreviate it informally. In fact, I think there is only 2…
‘IYDMMA, how much did you pay for it?’
‘IYDMMA, how did they die?’
So its a possibly inappropriate question asked seemingly politely but actually quite the opposite.

I find it interesting that in the language culture things are getting shorter while certain businesses are adding letters to look more fancy- we’ve got Towne Centers and popcorn Shoppes now.
I’m just glad we’re not moving in the direction of Shakespeare language

I was dumb founded when my boys kept mentioning an obbi??? I was like do you mean hobby? Nope stupid me it’s short for obstacle, damn roblox got a lot to answer for
I wonder if the abbreviations are a sign of laziness or efficiency? Lol, while I struggle with the majority of them, I guess in non-formal settings I can see the benefit. Almost like self-checkouts at the store. I get out alot faster when I don’t have to chit chat with the clerk
May I please ask you guys to provide the meaning too? I am still asking google. Lol.
