I agree with Cobra. Can you you not spell out a 3 word phrase for the rest of us to understand, a-hole?
Have fun on Team Cobra then.
GFY.
IRL = In Real Life. As opposed to online.
It’s actually a very common shorthand for a combo of words used often on platforms like Twitter and Reddit and texting too. You learned something new today!
IMHO, the ability to think in acronym comes from a military background. As an Air Force Tech Controller, I was trained to use Q & Z signals from ACP-131. On the teletype order wire (OW) we were taught to use "short-talk" for better efficiency. Thank you was "tnks." Standby a moment was "ZUJ a tick." The Navy was the all time greatest with acronyms. Cinclantflt stood for the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet.
I continued in telecommunications as a technician and retired from Verizon as a Program Manager. In that field there is a vast lexicon of acronyms and terminology. When it gets to be such a habit, one doesn't think to translate for those that were never exposed to it.
Nowadays young kids that type on instant messenger, use a short code on their cell phones beyond understanding for most of us.
A lexicon of acronyms is the language of the future. It should be simpler to adapt than complain.
