I hate english speakers that use rsvp as a verb and then say stuff like “rsvp please”.
Comment on Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?

A French one is common enough that it’s used in English- “Répondez, s’il vous plaît” (Respond, if you please) is where we get RSVP. “SVP” is also sometimes used as a shorthand for “please”, at least in Quebecois.

There’s loads, I’m kind of blanking but MDR (mort de rire) comes to mind as the lol equivalent. I think you guys in Quebec don’t use it though correct me if I’m wrong. I married one of yours but I’m still missing a lot of the day to day things.

It’s sometimes used here, I think it depends how English you are. I just use “lol” but my fiancée does use “mdr” with other French speakers.
