I guarantee that this young girl knows the definition of every bit of internet slang, while I have never had a total primer on this stuff. Yes, I’ve been forced to figure it out on my own. Good thing I’m proficient in “search engine.” And yes, this makes me feel.a little out of it.
I do ok, but I thought you might enjoy some definitions. They may come in handy, not only in your online life, but in talking with, say, your grandkids. Yes, we are that old. So here goes:
Found this cool image on line. In case you can’t read small text of this post. More definitions, below.
And all of these:
BRB: Be right back BTW: By the way FYI: For your information GTG: Got to go IMO: In my opinion IRL: In real life LMAO: Laughing my ass off LOL: Laughing out loud ROFL: Rolling on the floor laughing
BFF: Best friends forever Boujee: Rich or acting rich Dope: Awesome or high quality Extra: Acting in a dramatic or exaggerated way Fam: Friends or family Fire: Cool or amazing
FOMO: Fear of missing out GOAT: Greatest of all time Lit: Cool or awesome Mood: Relatable feeling or experience
TMI: Too much information SMH: Shaking my head IDK: I don’t know TBH: To be honest NGL: Not gonna lie NSFW: Not safe for work OfC: Of course OG: Original OP: Original poster TTYL: Talk to you later
Thank you for these. The New York Times crossword puzzle is always using texting slang, which I never know (at least most of them). This will come in handy.
Fun post! I know a lot of these. It helps that I got a computer degree in 1984 and have never been very far from them since. But I can’t seem to keep OG in my head and I was missing NGL, OfC, and TTYL.
Here you’ll find my blog, some of my essays, published writing, and my solo performances. There’s also a link to my Etsy shop for healing and grief tools offered through A Healing Spirit.

You were ahead of the curve, Joy!
You left out my fav….AF
OG is how I choose to live my life, (in my head anyway)
I love it, Donna!
Well, I guess I’m doing okay since I knew all but one of these, haha.
I’d say that’s much more than just ‘ok’!!
