🔘 HFWhat does HF mean when messaging and gaming?
◻️Have fun
HF is a quick way to wish someone a fun time. For example, if your friend tells you they are leaving for the cabin, you might reply, "I hope the weather is great. HF!"
People may use HF when texting or messaging online, whether in social DMs, dating sites, or web forums. For example, you may be messaging someone on Twitter, and you send them "GL with all those replies. HF!" Additionally, when gaming, players may use HF in multiplayer games such as StarCraft 2 or Fortnite as a courtesy at the beginning of a game.
❓Example
HF during your vacation in Mexico!
Thanks! See you in a week!

🔘 WhoaWhat does whoa mean?
◻️Expression of surprise
Whoa is a common term people use to express surprise or shock at something. You will see or hear it in messages, in emails, online, and in real life (IRL).
For example, your sister may be talking on the phone and exclaim, "Whoa! Is he OK?" when discovering your neighbor was in a car accident. Or, your mom and dad may text you an awesome birthday surprise, and you respond with, "Whoa! Amazing!" While the pronunciation is the same, people may also spell whoa as "woah."
❓Example
Whoa! I had no idea they got engaged!
Ya, they kept it a secret for a while

🔘 H/wWhat is h/w short for?
◻️Homework
H/w is a common way to abbreviate homework, which is schoolwork a teacher assigns to students to work on outside of class at home. It may be an essay, book report, presentation, worksheet, or another type of task.
Many students despise h/w because it infringes on their free time outside of school, like going to a movie or hanging out at a friend's house. Nevertheless, students in elementary school to college have to work on h/w, although the way they complete it has changed over the years. For example, students in the 1980s had to complete their work on paper with a pencil, pen, or typewriter; but students in the 2020s often complete and submit their work on a computer via the Internet.
Mostly tweens, teens, and young adults use the abbreviation. You can also remove the slash in the abbreviation to make hw.
❓Example
Do you know if that class is going to have a lot of h/w?

🔘 CRAFTWhat does CRAFT stand for?
◻️Can't remember a freakin' thing
CRAFT stands for "can't remember a freakin' thing." If you're drawing a blank on a particular fact or topic, you can tell the person you're chatting with that you CRAFT.
However, because CRAFT is an uncommon acronym, using it in a chat, email, or text message may confuse the person you're talking to. For example, if someone asks you what you did last night, and you say that you CRAFT, the person might think you spent your evening knitting or creating jewelry.
❓Example
I have to take the test tomorrow, and I feel like I CRAFT!

🔘 WorkcationWhat is a workcation?
◻️A working vacation
A workcation is when a person remotely works while on vacation (a combination of "work" and "vacation"), possibly from a hotel or Airbnb rental. For example, you may vacation at a beach home with your family but spend business hours working on your laptop while they play at the beach.
Since the advent of remote work, the line between employees' personal and professional lives has blurred. Remote work (WFH, WFA, and WFX) significantly increased in the 2010s with tech progression (e.g., advancement of computer performance and Internet speeds) and exploded in the early 2020s during covid social distancing restrictions.
Typically, there are two primary reasons for workcations: 1) The worker does not have enough vacation days but still wants to go on vacation, or 2) the worker is a workaholic, struggling to disengage from work responsibilities, especially if co-workers or employers are demanding 24/7 access to them. Companies may also hold conferences or group business trips that employees might refer to as workcations.
❓Example
How was your vacation in the Bahamas?
Great! Except Geoffrey made it a workcation when he helped broker a deal the whole time we were there
Bummer. :/

🔘 FYIWhat does FYI stand for?
◻️For your information
FYI is an acronym that prefaces an informative statement. For example, your mom may text you, "FYI - don't use the upstairs toilet. Dad clogged it."
FYI is similar to the JSYK acronym and skinny term. People commonly use it in emails to share information with the recipients, which can get annoying when they grow numerous and repetitive. People also use FYI as a noun, i.e., "Just an FYI, next week's meeting has been canceled."
❓Example
FYI, black and navy blue typically shouldn't be worn together
Gotcha, thanks!

🔘 Left No CrumbsWhat does left no crumbs mean?
◻️Completely dominated
Left no crumbs is another way to say that someone completely obliterated (in a good way) another person, game, performance, look, etc. People typically use it with the "ate that" phrase to emphasize someone's fantastic achievement.
There is no clear creator to attribute the phrase to; instead, it organically evolved out of the "ate that" saying on social media. It gained popularity in 2017 but took off in early 2018 and is similar to the "left no prisoners" saying.
Examples of when you would see it include on Twitter when a person is stanning their favorite musician or in a message from your work boyfriend remarking how well you did on your presentation. You may also say it in person to your BFF after she sings great at a talent show.
❓Example
Wow, Melanie, you ate that show and left no crumbs! YGG!

🔘 Big MadWhat does big mad mean?
◻️Very angry
Big mad is another way to say that you are furious with someone or something. For example, you might be big mad at your sister after she ruins your favorite shirt, or you might be big mad that you didn't get a promotion at work.
Big mad arose in popularity in 2017 along with "big yikes," which is an exaggeration of "yikes." Most people use it on social media when posting about their frustration, while some may also say it aloud in person when ranting.
If you encounter someone who is big mad, you should probably give them space to chill. Or, if they are looking to vent, you can listen and empathize with their plight.
❓Example
I'm big mad. I can't believe she said that about my bf after she just met him

🔘 FPSWhat game genre is FPS?
◻️First-person shooter
Gamers use FPS as shorthand for the "first-person shooter" genre. First-person shooters are 3D action games in which players:
View the game's world from their character's limited, first-person perspective
Shoot enemies with a gun or other projectile weapon
Popular FPSes include Call of Duty (CoD), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Half-Life, and Doom. Many FPSes include both player vs. computer (PvC) and player vs. player (PvP) modes, allowing players to play against either the game's AI or other players.
❓Example
Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and Marathon were some of the first FPS games

🔘 ROFLWhat does ROFL stand for in messages and online?
◻️Rolling on the floor laughing
ROFL stands for "rolling on the floor laughing," which is meant to say that you think something is so funny that you fell to the ground laughing. It is most often sent in text messages, but may also be used online on social sites or in chatrooms.
ROFL is similar to LMAO (laughing my a** off) in popularity and hyperbole. Both of these acronyms are used as a more expressive version of LOL (laughing out loud).
You will most likely see ROFL as a funny comment online, an image posted on social media, a goofy sound you heard with another person, or a video you received in a text message. And ROFL will probably only be sent by a teenager or young adult, but some older adults do like to use it to sound cool.
❓Example
I was ROFL after that last comment he made!

🔘 SwerveWhat does swerve mean?
◻️Go away
Swerve means go away. It is a slang term used to deny somebody.
The term has a variety of meanings and they all have to do with rejecting or avoiding someone, much like how you would swerve out of the way to avoid hitting a deer. The term exploded in popularity when it was featured in "Mercy", a 2012 song collaboration between Kanye West, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, and Pusha T.
❓Example
You wanna come over to my crib 2nite?
Swerve, DA

🔘 KMMFAWhat does KMMFA stand for?
◻️Kiss my motherf*ing a
Crude, angry people may use KMMFA to stand for "kiss my motherf*ing a." This expansion of KMA somehow finds a way to be even more offensive.
You're most likely to encounter KMMFA while playing online multiplayer games or arguing with rude people on social media. For example, if you engage in some lighthearted trolling during a game of LoL, don't be surprised if you receive KMMFA in response. LoL players are just like that sometimes.
❓Example
Are you even old enough to drive?
KMMFA!

🔘 creeperWhat is a creeper in Minecraft?
◻️A socially invasive person
A creeper is a weird, socially awkward person who has creepy interactions toward another person. This person often creeps into your social space and is unaware of how creepy he or she is acting.
Creepers are usually thought of as males because their presence is more alarming and threatening to females. However, there are a substantial amount of females that can up the creep factor. Some creeper traits include staring at someone IRL or making inappropriate comments on a person's pictures or social profile online.
❓Example
Did you see what he posted on my page? What a creeper
