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

That’s what I thought it was until right now

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’
darvocet@infosec.pub 11 months ago
I’ve always thought it meant both
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 11 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 11 months ago
I was essentially certain that this meant: “their face when”
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I thought it was “that feel when…” like in the memes.
Both kinda work, though.

Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 months ago
“Oh my! Word?”
Venator@lemmy.nz 11 months 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!

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 11 months ago
I thought I was nuts in remembering that it meant so much hate at one point
Kiernian@lemmy.world 11 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.

mft isn’t MotherFucker What??
letsgo@lemm.ee 11 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 11 months ago
I genuinely thought SMH meant “smack my head” as in facepalm. Which works in context, both mean I am dissapoint.

I always internalize SMH as suck my head
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Pretty sure that was the original meaning.
can@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’m pretty sure this can’t be true lol
NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months 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. 😉

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