🔘 GLHFTTYL

What does GLHFTTYL stand for?


◻️Good luck, have fun, talk to you later

GLHFTTYL stands for "good luck, have fun, talk to you later." Primarily, gamers use this acronym while signing off from online gaming sessions, to wish their fellow players good fortune.
More rarely, you might see people use GLHFTTYL to sign off from other chat and text conversations. In these instances, GLHFTTYL still means the same thing, but the HF portion of the acronym refers to whatever activity you're doing. (And yes, the person who sent you GLHFTTYL is likely a gamer.)


❓Example
GGs, WP. Gotta sign off GLHFTTYL
U2 CYL

🔘 NFT

What is an NFT?


◻️Non-fungible token

A non-fungible token, often referred to as an "NFT," is a unique digital asset that is part of a blockchain, usually the open-source Ethereum. It is primarily used to verify ownership of digital artwork sold and collected online.
NFTs increased in usage in 2020, partially because the Covid-19 pandemic limited the exchange of actual artwork. They are a form of currency on a blockchain, which is a type of database linked together like a chain using cryptography.
Blockchains provide helpful information about transactions that cannot be modified. They are also transparent, allowing users to view the transactions and recognize ownership of assets.
An NFT, which is part of a blockchain, functions similarly to a receipt that provides proof of a digital asset's purchase and ownership. Anything digital can be sold and collected as an NFT, but an NFT is primarily an image or video artwork.


❓Example
I just paid $15 for an NFT
Oh yeah, what did you get?
Katie's tweet about sandwiches
SMH, you're such a simp.

◻️Awkward

BFF means "best friends forever." It is a popular acronym that refers to your best friend, pal, or mate and communicates that your bond will last forever.

🔘 Alpha Male

What is an alpha male?

◻️A dominant male

Alpha male is a nuanced term that people often use online on social media and forums. For example, someone who views it reverently may say, "I love Mike's alpha male energy. His confidence is refreshing."
On the other hand, people may view alpha male behavior as archaic and, in some contexts, toxic. For example, a person with a critical viewpoint of alpha males may say, " I'm so annoyed by these obnoxious alpha males insulting other guys for being kind."


❓Example
My alpha cousin keeps posting memes about how modern men spend too much time getting woke and not enough time getting swole
Isn't he like 16?

🔘 Brain Fart

What does brain fart mean?

◻️Brief absence of intelligence

Brain fart is a phrase that is employed when a normally intelligent person says or does something dumb. It comes from the temporariness of a fart and its similarity to a brief lapse of judgment.
The person who has the brain fart must be usually intelligent or else they aren't brain farts, that person is just not very bright. Brain fart may also appear as the BF acronym and is also similar to the AFB acronym.

❓Example
Does the "Blind Xing" sign mean that blind people cross there? Oh forget I said that, brain fart

🔘 Softmaxxing

What is softmaxxing?

◻️Making minor beauty improvements

Softmaxxing is when a person attempts to make minor improvements to their physical appearance. Examples of softmaxxing include changing your diet, slightly squinting your eyes or pushing your tongue to your mouth to accentuate your jawline (known as "mewing").
You will likely see softmaxxers online, whether it be on social media (e.g., influencers), in fashion forums, or within incel communities. For example, a model may provide softmaxxing techniques to her followers on Instagram.

❓Example
Craig has been acting weird recently
Yeah, he's been softmaxxing for his wedding in June
Ah, that explains why he's constantly chewing gum to improve his jawline

🔘 URTB

What does URTB stand for?

◻️You are the best

Someone who sends you URTB thinks "you are the best." You might receive this acronym after you do something swell for a friend, family member, or co-worker, as an expression of their appreciation.
If you want to quickly say "you're welcome" to the person who sent you URTB, you can respond with YW. If you want them to know their praise hasn't given you a big head, you can throw in a NP or NBD as well.

❓Example

🔘 CEO Of

What does being the CEO of something mean?

◻️The best at

Being the CEO of something means you are the very best (or at least incredibly exceptional) at doing that thing. For example, Batman is the CEO of detectives, Al Roker is the CEO of TV meteorology, and Kim Kardashian is the CEO of being famous for no reason.
TikTok users, especially, like to say that other users are the CEO of something - whether it be twerking, waffles, giving high fives, or the year 1957. CEO, of course, still means chief executive officer, but in this context, there is no actual company involved - just a GOAT social media champion, showing off their sick skills.

❓Example
Can you believe Serena Williams won again? That woman's the CEO of female tennis

🔘 Locked In

What does it mean when someone is locked in?

◻️Doing well

When someone is doing something so well, they are "locked in," meaning all other distractions fall away because they are incredibly focused on the task at hand. For example, if a person's fit perfectly complements their make-up, making them look amazing, they are "locked in."
You will see or hear people use "locked in" in person and online (including on social media). Some areas where people may be locked in include sports, fashion, and work.
For example, a basketball commentator may exclaim, "Brown is locked in tonight, draining his 5th three-pointer of the night!" Or, a Zendaya fan may ask, "Have you seen Dune 2 yet? My girl Zen was locked in!" And a more mundane example is "Luke just crushed his work presentation. He's locked in!"

❓Example
Jessica's dress is fire
Bet. She's locked in

🔘 Hop Off

What does hop off mean?

◻️Go away

Hop off means "Go away" or "Leave me alone." It is used both online and offline to tell a person that he should stop whatever he's doing and leave you alone.
The phrase comes from when a person is riding you too hard, almost like a car driving too close to your tail on the highway and you tell him to "hop off your tail." It gained popularity in the early-2000s as an alternative to the "Back off" phrase.
It may be used in a variety of situations, like when your partner is being too critical of you or your parent is telling you how to live your life. It is a good alternative to lashing out and regretting saying something really hurtful.

❓Example
I really don't think you should be dating her. She's not right for you
Hop off! You don't even know her

🔘 Word

What does word mean?

◻️Agree

When you agree with something someone did or said, you can simply say "word." People may use it in person, online, and in messages to say, "I agree," or "gotcha" (especially when emphasizing something).
For example, your friend may complain about your other friend always talking about himself, and you reply with "word" in agreement. Or, you might text your friend about meeting up at the theater at five and you reply, "word. see you then."

❓Example
These cell phone companies charge way too much for data plans

🔘 Ditto

What does ditto mean?

◻️Same

Ditto is a popular term used to say "same here" or "agreed" in response to a question, statement, or opinion. It may be spoken out loud or used while texting or chatting online.
Ditto is a convenient way to say that you completely agree with someone, which is convenient when time is short or do you want to text a long explanation. The term is similar to the samesies term and the SH acronym. Ditto is also the name of a Pokémon that looks like a purple blob and can copy other Pokémon's attacks.


❓Example
I really want to go see the new Spielberg movie
Ditto
