Didnt really pay attention to context or spelling, more like reading through words derived from a foreign language

FTFY is better as Fuck that, Fuck you.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 13 points 4 weeks ago

Gets the same point across!

[-] loomi@lemmy.world 35 points 4 weeks ago

So much hate

(Until I figured out this acronym a couple years back, the internet was a much angrier place for me. )

[-] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 weeks ago

That's what I thought it was until right now

I still can't believe it doesn't mean that.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 25 points 4 weeks ago

I thought FTW meant ‘Fuck The World’

[-] darvocet@infosec.pub 7 points 4 weeks ago

I’ve always thought it meant both

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 4 weeks ago

It does when scratched into school desks. In text messages/online posts, though, it means For The Win.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago

I am gonna steal FTFY, so whenever I use that, remember that's what I'm saying to you.

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck That Fuck You actually works in every context where FTFY is used

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

the better o2 lmao

[-] bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 weeks ago

I always read TFW as “the fuck when”

[-] philthi@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

I was essentially certain that this meant: "their face when"

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago

I thought it was "that feel when..." like in the memes.

Both kinda work, though.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

The First Walrus.

[-] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

TFW… SMH Not sure I can unlearn “that face when… so much hate”

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 9 points 3 weeks ago

OMW should be "oh my word"

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nah its more like oh! My word!

[-] Kiernian@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

Back twenty years ago when I first started seeing "SMH" it was "So. Much. Hate."

As in "I really dislike that."

As in "So, everybody unanimously said they want sheet cake for office birthdays and management decided to double down on the day old donuts again anyway? So Much Hate."

[-] errer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I thought I was nuts in remembering that it meant so much hate at one point

[-] Kiernian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think it was the original meaning when it was brand new and still very niche.

Part of me wonders if it made it onto one of those "Parents! Know these abbreviations!" memes where they purposely list the acronyms incorrectly (LOL--Lots of Love) and then got more popular that way.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

I can use all of these to talk about a rousing game of football:

Newcastle United Fuck The What! We can't lose against Man United again SoMetHing.

MotherFuWwer Joelinton misses an absolute sitter 😨 (Some internet famous Lorem Ipsum)

On my way

*Oh My What. Fuck This, Fuck You.

The Fuck What we're actually winning Happy cat emoticon. Howeh the lads 0⁷(dunno how to subscript on my phone so this is the best you get)

>85 minutes later

We lost again‽ First Flayer Shooter!

[-] jonathanvmv8f@lemm.ee 6 points 4 weeks ago

I love when people make the effort to do this kind of stuff and I got the opportunity to have someone do it for my post.

Thanks dude. You have made my day...

[-] Tixanou@lemm.ee 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

english be like:

iirc atm btw nbd omw orly tbf rn tbh, wbu 👍

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

mfw isn't MotherFucker What??
and tfw isn't The Fuck What??

ig you learn something new every day

[-] Tobberone@lemm.ee 5 points 4 weeks ago

A flayer shooter with Oz, you say? Well, the lore is there.

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

I always pronounce FFS in my head. I imagine it's the person breathing out in frustration.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

What the hell do cats look like in your neck of the woods? 🤨

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I thought <3 was a set of balls

And E> is a set of cyborg balls.

I genuinely thought SMH meant "smack my head" as in facepalm. Which works in context, both mean I am dissapoint.

[-] kwedd@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

I thought it meant "so much hate".

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago

...and why do kids these days say ooh-wooh?

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

OwO

UwU

They're actually face emojis. First is eyes open, second is eyes closed.

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 weeks ago

But what face is this meant to be: lol ?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's the referee signaling that the field goal was good.

[-] Enkrod@feddit.de 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

UwU, OwO and OwU represent Cute Face. It is used to express various warm, happy, or affectionate feelings, often with an overtone of arousal.

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

I know someone who insists LOL means "lots of love".

His text "My mother-in-law died last night LOL" still fails to parse.

[-] thesocavault@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

It would be better if people wrote out the words so 1 - there is no misunderstandings and 2 - we know they know how to spell. 😉

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 3 points 4 weeks ago

OMW = Old Man Winter

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

ffs: fuckfuck shit

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

[-] xlash123@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

I always internalize SMH as suck my head

\o/

meaning: holding up hands in celebration

I thought: stylized lol

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 1 points 4 weeks ago

Same here. Some of those are exactly what I thought and one was what I still thought to this day
