ICL, IDK WTF Your Iowa Teen Is Now Talking About

Kids have an entirely different language from the rest of the world.  They use "brainrot" words that we don't know and abbreviations that we have to look up.

Maybe some of these you know...I mean...I use "WTF" daily.

However, there is a reason these other abbreviations below are being searched...cause we have no idea what they mean.

Can You Unscramble These Words?

It says "a meet".

A spokesperson for Unscramblerer.com said, "Text abbreviations are the secret language of the internet. You could even call them an integral part of social media culture. Texting abbreviations are all about saving time and appearing cool."

However, a recent study found that abbreviations might not be as cool as people think. Using abbreviations makes the sender seem less sincere. So while it's fine to send abbreviations to your buddies, you shouldn't use them in professional conversations.
