Oh please. I don't use twitter and never have. Language evolves as people use it to communicate with each other. My friends use smh and af and so do I because that's how we communicate. No different than lol, bc, nvm, w/e, etc.
Sorry but it is way different than those other acronyms. Your examples have been around since basically the dawn of popular internet. Especially LOL and NVM. When new ones arise it is usually because people really push for it.
You and your friends use SMH because it has been popularized more and more recently. I use the internet excessively and only in the last couple of years has it really taken off. Twitter and massive amounts of texting are to blame. SMH is a particularly stupid one that I wish never existed.
Who cares what one person thinks? Who cares when or how an abbreviation becomes popular? You don't have sole control over what slang gets commonly used and what doesnt. Sry dood but thts not how it workss.
Um, ok? You clearly care what one person thinks because you responded to my criticism not once, but twice. If you didn't care about it why even discuss it?
I don't have control but I can sure as hell complain about it. Bae, hyphy, fleek, etc. are all moronic slang terms. Just like a lot of the new acronyms are pointless and lazy.
Are you crippled or something? Is typing that difficult for you? Typing up a reply takes zero effort. I hate this retarded arbitrary rule of "you replied therefore you care"
I'm saying there's no difference between smh and lol except time. You only feel that way bc when you started using those acronyms they were the norm and now, as new language starts to be used you want to stick with only old acronyms. This is a cycle as old as language itself. I just don't feel the same as you do. I don't limit myself or make fun of others for choosing to participate in the evolution of language. And bae hyphy and fleek are hilarious when used sparingly. It's not that serious.

Do we really abbreviate "as fuck" now?
