So much hate
(Until I figured out this acronym a couple years back, the internet was a much angrier place for me. )
What I thought some abbreviations/emoticons meant vs what they actually meant

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

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

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

I thought FTW meant ‘Fuck The World’

I’ve always thought it meant both
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 months ago
It does when scratched into school desks. In text messages/online posts, though, it means For The Win.

I always read TFW as “the fuck when”
philthi@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I was essentially certain that this meant: “their face when”
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I thought it was “that feel when…” like in the memes.
Both kinda work, though.

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!

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…

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 5 months ago
I thought I was nuts in remembering that it meant so much hate at one point
Kiernian@lemmy.world 5 months 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.

letsgo@lemm.ee 5 months 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.

I always pronounce FFS in my head. I imagine it’s the person breathing out in frustration.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I genuinely thought SMH meant “smack my head” as in facepalm. Which works in context, both mean I am dissapoint.

Pretty sure that was the original meaning.

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. 😉

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