![]() Got a cool boss that doesn’t mind when you’re off-topic? Drop all the memes you like in that #Random Slack channel, as long as they’re not inappropriate, and let the recipient know they’re safe by saying SFW. That one might be smarter to look at on your phone. Caution her with a quick NSFW so that she doesn’t open it on her computer when the boss is wandering by. You want to send your work friend something hilarious, but it’s also a little R-rated. BC: Because.Įxplain yourself, now with five fewer letters! Why did you grab a coffee before work that made you late? BC it seemed like a better alternative to falling asleep at your desk. The less enthusiastic cousin of v, you’re p excited about how your advertising campaign is performing (but not quite v excited). Very is kind of a useless word anyway, so why not make it even shorter? When someone asks you how you’re feeling on Monday morning, just reply “v tired” and be done with it. Def: Definitely.Īs in, (TBH) you can def never remember how to spell definitely the correct way, so this is def a great way to both save time and the embarrassment of spelling it wrong in an email to your superiors. If you’re planning on getting inappropriately drunk (or stoned) at your team’s happy hour this Friday, you’re intent on getting Lit AF. If Tom won’t stop interrupting you at the meeting, he’s being annoying AF. Used to emphasize whatever you’re referring to. Shoot him a quick FML (reply, not reply all, if you value your job) so Jim knows exactly how you feel about redoing all your hard work because someone higher up wants a “more relatable shade of light blue” on that landing page header. Or let’s say Jim loops you in on an email from the boss asking for yet another round of revisions on the project you two are working on. Say you just chose the wrong podcast hosting and got locked into a year-long contract… that’s an FML moment. Your boss wants you to take on all the projects from the guy who just quit with no extra pay? And get them done in half the time? With no overtime? NBD. Try starting your needlessly harsh critique with a TBH and cross your fingers that they’ll appreciate the honesty (and not call on your least favorite acronym: HR). If you have a shirt that says “I’m not an asshole, I’m just honest…” then this will be your favorite on the list. As in, LBH, the talking baby chat bot feature is a stupid idea. Think your current project is going off the rails? Get everyone on the same page and preface it with a quick LBH. Fire off a quick HBTY over Slack and you’re done-congratulations, you just saved yourself 3 seconds of typing. ![]() Let’s say it’s Johnny’s birthday in the office today and you’re in a rush.
