What do people do with with all that time they save by skipping 2 letters?

I'm pretty sure that, with autocorrect, it's harder to write sm than some, so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, I assume she is, he isn’t, and she’s opening up to him a little.

Before I realized I was autistic, I had a bad understanding of it, so I definitely rejected people trying to connect with me about my obvious autism, because I thought it precluded the ability to empathize (laughably incorrect, but that’s ignorance for ya). That’s also a chance.

But it’s a greentext, so there’s probably no girl and OP’s a liar anyway :)

Misread this as "aunties" and what a hilarious idea. Aunties just spotting each other and giving the nod.

Call me an old curmudgeon, but I just cannot get behind "sm" or "smth". I hope that trend dies.

"Rizz" on the other hand is a fantastic term.

"Sm" seems too short but "smth" has been used for decades.

I still don't know what that means , but I always read it as "Shit in My Hands"

It's def shaking my head (in disappointment). I used to think people were misspelling stg (I swear to god) in reddit til I asked there one day.

On your standard keyboard accidentally typing m when you meant t would be quite tricky.

Well that's a different thing, as it's not an abbreviation, but an acronym. Which is why that actually gave me pause after years of using "smth" online, because I always read "smh" as "something" instead of "shaking my head."

It always bothered me because "shaking my head" isn't even a figure of speech people say, so how the fuck can you use an acronym form of the expression.

2

Much like how gifs work, I presume.

Like you just imagine someone shaking their head. Just kine you imagine someone smiling when I type :)

The thing is, shaking ones head isn't as universal of a symbol as smiling. Some cultures have nods and shakes the other way around. Which seems somewhat weird.

I though it stood for "sadomasochism" and was trying to figure out what that meant here.

It’s like the cooties… the key ring is the equivalent of “circle circle dot dot now you’ve had your cooties shot” because today’s youth are spoiled.

The times have surely changed. Kids and their fancy ass key rings… all I got was a titty twister & a loogey in the palm.

Right now it's popular to reduce words to three letters. On god. Mid. No cap. The trend seems to be removing as much information as possible while still leaving the meaning intact. It's an art form in the slang world apparently

You really cannot understand this without known what "sm" means here. Can someone please explain?

Edit: Thanks for the replies. But I just realized that wasn't all that is needed to understand. Key ring drawings having meaning? Is that some esoteric shit? Probably best, I just leave this thread for some memes I do get.

By context I think the room temperature IQ poster is saying "something", but as I am one of The Olds, I cannot be sure. I know rizz as a noun, so it doesn't make sense in the context they used it in.

37

It's a verb too.

Rizz = charisma.

To rizz = to be charismatic.

Sometimes it's the same as flirting, but sometimes it isn't.

using short forms is low iq now? this take gives same energy as boomers saying "kids these days"

It has pretty much always been a low IQ thing when it is just about saving a negligible amount of letters. This is not your "afk" or "brb" where time is of the essence, this is similar to the people who use "u" instead of "you".

its not about saving time its just more convinent, sm is wayy more convinent that something, and it can be understood even if you dont know with good context

Digital messaging has autocomplete, and while it ducking sucks (and is getting worse, thanks LLMs), it still does all the work for you.

2

If you do have a keyboard actually typing out the word is usually not the limiting factor either.

redreply

yeah no, i use foss keyboard which dosent collect data,

and is getting worse, thanks LLM

this is the real low iq take, there is no llm in auto complete, if you meant use of auto regressive transformer then that only made it much much better, and they were using transformer since like 2018 its nothing new

-1

I feel like it's a low iq thing not to be able to fill in a shortened word from context. New words like rizz, on the other hand, they just have to be learnt.

First of all, stop saying "rizz" because you sound like an idiot.

You LIGHT IT UP BLUE and avoid staring at the light because it's painful to look at

And embrace all the puzzle pieces because you're a five year old even as you ascend into your adult years and continue to get infantilized

Greet her HELLO FELLOW PERSON WITH AUTISM, talk about how ABA therapy is totally not traumatizing you

It's okay, Autism Speaks will find a cure and initiate a eugenics campaign to erase and prevent Autistic births CURE THE AUTISM!

I like my girlfriend because she's autistic. I don't want some dummy with blond hair and orange skin.
