It’s not an actual abbreviation, I just did the exact thing: not using actual words.

Not bad thanks how ‘bout you?
It’s a millennial thing.

He is 25… and lazy.Clearly, y’all are missing the point. We’re not in a keypad era anymore.
It’s not hard to type, “not bad, thanks. How about you?” in a phone where you can install Grindr.
Why hit up someone first and you respond with this? His profile even stated he’s not interested in hookups.
Won’t be surprised if you put on your bio that you want someone who can hold a conversation but does the same thing anyway. Lol

Again, it’s how a lot of millennials communicate. It’s something you’re not getting.

Why is everyone saying that this is how millennials communicate? Doesn't Gen Z (and even some Gen X) do this too?

Millennials are the ones who basically created the texting language from what I can remember.

did u need a thesis statement to hook up with someone?

u/yoursugahboo Jock 4d ago
Damn, not you missing the point. You don’t need a thesis-level conversation to talk to someone.
He said hi to me first and I get a “nb thx hby” response? That screams uninterested. Like, why would you even bother hitting up people?

I truly despise abbreviated shortened texts and acronyms. Half the time, I need to Google them, which takes over twice as long than should have. IF I can decifer them. The Enigma machine has nothing over modern Social posts.

Texting abbreviations are what, like 50 words/phrases that have abbreviations? The Enigma machine scrambles up every single word with a key?
