90 Abbreviations For Millennials Who Refuse To Be Limited By The Constructs Of Grammar

By

Brevity is its own currency in the Millennial world. Sometimes people aren’t worth your time so speaking in full sentences, let alone full words is completely out of the question. Sometimes your co-worker is communicating with you via text, Slack, GChat, and Instagram all at the same time and you need to respond as efficiently as possible. Sometimes you have a very long and involved dramatic story to tell and you don’t want to be that friend who takes an hour to get to the point, but whatever your reason, don’t let anyone ever shame you for the part you play in the evolution of language. Shakespeare invented as many words as he needed, and now it’s time for us to shorten them…

I’m only really a fan of celebs with abbreves for names, like KStew and JLaw, but my favorite cardio is dancing to J.Lo, aka bae, while sharing bevs and avo topped apps with my bros, but if we overdo it on the alc, we can always soak it up with carbs after.
