Internet Acronyms

In the world of messengers and chat rooms, the use of Internet abbreviations is as natural as seeing another selfie maker at the street. Somehow these catchy shorthand words have grown into the whole new language used by millennials and Gen Zers.

Some people call it Internet slang since many abbreviations are mostly used in informal conversations of specific groups in social media networks. However, the typical slang of British English, American English, Australian English, and others are typically localized whereas Internet abbreviations are universal and used by any person who catches the gist of a chat.....go on reading in Preply

One of the assumptions is that the greater part of abbreviations appeared because teens needed to hide their private chats from parents’ eyes. And there are specific examples that confirm it:

• PAW (Parents are watching)
• PITR (Parent in the room)
• PBB (Parent behind back)
• POMS (Parent over my shoulder)
• KPC (Keeping parents clueless)
• PAH (Parent at home).
