One time I was joking about the phrase 'busting a nut' and my mom asked what it meant. Out of fear I told her it meant to 'work really hard', like to the point where you were exhausted.

In Dungeons and Dragons the 12-sided die, a dodecahedron, is usually associated with barbarians who use it as their hit die and often use the greataxe, for which it is the damage die. Therefore, "dodecahedron time" very clearly refers to flying into a rage.

It actually used to mean that back in the day but yeah nowadays nope

I remember a friend online one time trying to tell me what 'smh' and 'lol' meant (even though I already knew, but it was funny to watch anyway). I quote him: "So, my brother said smh means Smack My Head, like a facepalm, and lol means Literally Over Lighted, like when something is too bright" He found out the next day that his brother lied to him and unfriended me probably because I didn't tell him.

In high school, I genuinely thought that FTW meant WTF backwards. Probably because a friend liked to respond to people saying "what the fuck?" out loud by saying "fuck the WHAT?"

I have one. It's not exactly an abbreviation, but I guess it does count as text slang. In Chinese, there's a phrase “玩坏了”, or literally "played with until broken". My mom thought it meant "exhausted" or "done with other people's antics", so she used it to describe everything. Our cat, me, and her friends' kids. They all loved it and thought that it was fun. Talking about our cat sleeping all day long? Joking about a child who is sulking after being teased? Comforting a coworker who is tired of being bossed around by eyeryone else? She uses the phrase in all of that. Actually, the phrase has a meaning more similar to "fucked silly". It usually was jargon from hentai connoisseurs, and describe when someone is being fucked - "played" - so hard that they literally goes limp or even loses consciousness and becomes "broken". So, the aforementioned scenarios become: "Snowball's been soooo tired! He really is fucked silly after all the cat zoomies!" "Awwww little Timmy, your big brother fucked you silly, didn't he?" "Girl, I'm here for you, even though the boss fucks the both of us silly every day!" I have absolutely zero idea how my mom learned it, but I was way too afraid to tell her because it could ruin my image as her innocent and stand-up son. But, everytime I remember my mom using this to describe people - and especially me, I cringe until my brain explodes.

I've been saying for a while that this is the dumbing-down of America where people actually use acronyms to spell out words; it's bad enough that a lot of Americans don't know how to spell, use correct punctuation and grammar but now everyone's talking in abbreviated senses, this is scary because people are getting the wrong impression of their friends and relatives text messages because they're not getting body language, the tone of the actual words from someone's mouth or facial expressions, just words on a screen, at least with a landline phone you get the tone of words but the word phone is a derivative of the word phony which means phony communications. I once seen an older man try to look up what an acronym meant that he got on a text from a younger person and I told him "don't do that make the kid spell it out for you" or you'll eventually get more and more dumbed down by technology too. If everyone keeps this up pretty soon they're going to end up living in a cave somewhere like cavemen and women talking to each other like Charlie Brown's teacher.... wah wah wah wah wah wah! And if you think I'm joking on where it's going then how come just 15 years ago or so I heard they've allowed Ebonics in some colleges as an actual language which is just broken English (English slang)? First it was person-to-person communication then started phone to phone communication 150 years ago or so which allowed everyone to separate because they knew they could get ahold of each other from a distance but now it's text to text.

He responded: "Oh, I thought it meant 'suck u sometime' " I don't know in which context his daughter said it, so that he could possibly get that corrolation.

I will never not be thinking about the time my dad told all of his coworkers he would be "out of pocket for the weekend" because he thought it meant not checking your phone.

My grandma though lol was lots of love so once her sister passed she told everyone lol. We ended up having a good laugh at over it now but at the time people where horrified

I just asked my parent what they thought some of these meant and the highlights were: My mother not understanding at first and just saying "smuh" for smh My mother thinking stfu meant "shit, that's fucked up" My father thinking rofl meant "right on, fucking loser" My mother thinking tbh meant "too bad, homie" And my mother somehow getting fml right EDIT: I should mention this was before they saw this video and it was a complete coincidence that their responses were similar to responses in the video

Back in the sixties, Charlie Brown, in the comics, went through a long stretch of worrying that "sometimes you're the hero, other times you're the goat". The choice he made would determine the outcome. So now when I hear "you're the goat", I can't help thinking it translates as "you made the wrong choice".

@@anophelesnow3957 Nearly. The elder said that people use the phrase GOAT about athletes and celebreties, but Jesus really was the GOAT. It was weird, I go to the kind of congregation where talking about Napoleon is considered a topical reference, so I wasn't expecting a lesson in slang. I was expecting him to bring out Matthew 25:32 "All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." But no. Mixed messages I guess.

I remember when my parents told me that WTF meant "We truly forgive" and I looked at it that way for 5 years.

I think this is a video I need a part two for!

In a different context, STFU, FML and HMU could also technically be used for "So Thankful For You (U)" or "For My Lord" or "Help Me Understand". I guess it just depends on the message and the general "feeling" of it. I love how these parents make up their own acronyms and some of them come out more wholesome than their original intention!

"hit my unit" is absolutely fucking perfect. In fact, she went above and beyond the meaning and made it better.

many years ago, someone thought "lol" was short for "lots of love" this backfired when they texted a recently bereaved colleague with "sorry about your nan lol"
