twenty-something girls love abbreviations. Both in conversation and over texts. I'm not sure if it has to do with their busy schedules - you know with their college courses that start at noon, part-time jobs working at the local watering hole, late-night/early morning partying, OR if it has to do more with the increase of ADD mixed with hyper-active minds caused by the surplus of energy drinks, but twenty-something girls abbreviate every single word. Even ones that are one to two syllables long. Case in point:
Simple conversation:
Absolutely = Abso
Totally = Tots
Obvious = Obvi *can also be the abbreviated version of "obviously"
Whatever = Whateves
Jealous = Jelly
Crazy = Cray or cray cray (for the over-zealous)
Whatever = Whateves
Jealous = Jelly
Crazy = Cray or cray cray (for the over-zealous)
Texting:
Tomorrow = tmrw
Nevermind = nvm
You = u
Yes = y
Those are the ones that come to mind, however, because I'm old and have selective memory, I'm sure there are more 'obvi' ones that I'm forgetting. Feel free to contribute. Tots.
