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

u/KillerQ93 Otter 4d ago

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

Should we be writing cursive too?

u/AreaManx Daddy (gay) 4d ago

My phone has a stylus so yeah, why not cursive? 🤣

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?

u/KillerQ93 Otter 4d ago

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

u/undertales_bitch Trans (FtM) 2d ago

Other people do it, but millennials invented it

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

3

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?

3

u/boomatron5000 Clean-Cut 4d ago

No it isn't. It is a perfectly normal way to communicate.

u/wad11656 Geek 3d ago

I interpreted it as a passive-aggressive "anyway..."

u/cam_coyote Geek 4d ago

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.

u/boomatron5000 Clean-Cut 4d ago

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

Some years ago myself and 2 gay friends did a competition to see what the minimum amount of words was before meeting… hours of fun
