Hi, everybody.

Welcome back to top words.

My name is Alicia and today we're going to talk about 10 Internet and texting phrases Thes air acronyms.

So words that are made from the beginning Letter of other words.

You'll see.

Let's get started.

Okay.

L o l The first word.

The first acronym.

It's L 00 You can read it as law if you want.

L o l stands for laugh out loud or laughing out loud.

We use this in text and on the Internet.

When something is funny, you receive a funny picture.

L Oh, well, you see something funny in a video?

L o l you read something funny?

L o l so L o l is used to express left er in a sentence.

What a funny picture.

L o l g o a T Next is g o a.

T.

It spells goat, but it actually means greatest of all time.

Greatest of all time goats.

This is this acronym goat.

You can use this after something that you think is really great.

Like the best of something.

The most amazing of something.

You have an amazing I don't know, amazing lunch.

And you take a picture posted on Instagram.

Ah, g o a t like this salad.

Something like that, or like a in this sentence I made of that.

Beyonce's performance g o a t like, greatest of all time.

So you think something is the best you can use G o a t for that.

Okay.

F y I next one is f why I f y i is used in text and Internet communications, but we also use it in speech.

We can also use f y i n speech.

It's okay in business as well.

F y I means for your information for your information blah, blah, blah, just giving you some information.

So any time you want to provide extra information, you can use f y I s o f y I the barbecue.

Still on tomorrow, though it's going to rain or f y I I'm leaving in 30 minutes.

So if you need to talk to me, do it now or in this sentence f y I have to leave early today b r b The next one is B R B b r B b R B means be right back.

Be right back.

I'm going to go away for a moment and come back very quickly.

So be right back means very soon I'm coming back.

Be right back.

B r b.

Sometimes especially young people use B r B in speech as well.

Like they're leaving the room for a moment at mere bay and then they come back to so some of these words they're used actually in speech, particularly among young people in a sentence.

I'm gonna grab a snack.

B r b o M g.

The next one is extremely popular.

The next one is O M G O M G means Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

So very, very useful expression you can use OMG for surprise for anger, for sadness.

For any extreme emotion causes surprise causes some Whenever Whenever you want to use Oh my God To express an extreme emotion you can use this So you see something funny OMG l o l You can combine these like the first word L o l o m g L O L That video, you can use hair and ha ha ha for laughter.

By the way, I use that h e h e h e or a J a J a j So you can use that or you can use L o l.

But OMG Oh, my God!

That's what we use to express that feeling that oh, shock feeling o m g So in a sentence week it said OMG I can't believe it is Oh, my God, I can't believe it.

Okay.

What?

The next one is W u t actually sorry.

This one is not an acronym.

This is not an acronym.

It's a misspelling, actually.

So the pronunciation of this is what?

What?

So a very strong you sound This comes from the word.

What?

W h a t?

What?

What?

But we use a misspelling in the on the internet and with text and stuff to imply, like, kind of a dumb feeling.

Like when you when you want to say what?

Like you're confused about something, but the situation is very, very dumb or it's just on.

It's hard to understand or confusing or doesn't make sense.

You can use what, like a very has, like a very, uh like kind of dumb sound.

The same you sound in Dumb is in woods.

So think what?

Ah, instead of what?

Which has a stronger a sound.

So we used what in in situations where.

Yeah, something doesn't make sense.

So, like my roommate didn't come home last night.

What?

So it's something that's a little bit confusing?

That might be a little more of an extreme example.

Actually, in this sentence, your roommate wants a dog but doesn't want to pay for it.

What?

So again, this is something that's used?

Maurin text.

It's hard to make the sound accurately in speech.

I suppose it's it's hard to detect, but when you spell what incorrectly w u T it gives the impression that the situation doesn't make sense.

It's it's kind of stupid or strange, and it shows you are confused.

It shows something doesn't make sense to you.

So this is more common.

Well, actually, this is primarily used.

This is mostly used in text on Lee.

We don't use it so much in speech.

Okay, B T W Ah, the next one is B T W B T W means, by the way, by the way, young people will use B t dubs are Ah, yeah, BT dubs instead of b t.

W.

In conversation, by the way, is just giving extra information about something.

So, like any time you would use, by the way, in conversation, you can use b t w on the Internet.

I don't recommend this for business emails or business writing, but in like on Twitter, Facebook instagram so on.

You can use BTW to meet, by the way, very convenient in a sentence.

Btw, can you give me back the money you owe me A S A i k.

The next one is a f a i k a f a I k.

Means as far as I know, as far as I know, this expression means with the information I have here is my understanding of the situation.

So, as far as I know means my understanding is lovable.

So as far as I know, our barbecue is going to happen at three tomorrow, or as far as I know, the meeting is still on for today, or as far as I know I'm dog sitting for my neighbor this weekend.

So according to my information, this is the situation.

As far as I know, a f It's okay.

Okay.

One more.

Um, a f a i k.

We're still meeting on Sunday I r c.

The next expression or the next acronym is I r c I r c means if I recall correctly recall means, remember, if I recall correctly, so meaning if my memory is correct This is the situation.

If I recall correctly.

Ah, Spider Man's real name is Peter Parker Or, if I recall correctly, doughnuts have no calories l o l.

So if I recall correctly, um, Tokyo at the capital city of Japan s So this is like if I remember correctly or if my memory is correct, this is what I think.

This is the information i IRC So you might see this like on message boards and discussion boards in particular here, One more sentence I I R c were supposed to meet in front of the station d m.

The next one is D M d M means direct message, direct message.

So this is very common on, like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, very common on social media on other social media portals D m direct message.

So for, for example, on Twitter we can send public messages among users.

But to send a direct message means other people cannot see that message.

So a D.

M.

Is a direct message to someone.

So in a sentence, you could say, uh D m me your email address.
