I have this problem when people use abreviations for game names. There are so many games that it's impossible for me to understand. And good luck to find out which game it is if it's a new one you never heard of...

The CEO at my old company really likes the expression "Let's fucking go" for some reason. Lots of "LFG" in the work chat. I guess he eats a lot of LinkedIn slop or something.
But to me, "LFG" means looking for group. I'm sitting here like why is the CEO spamming for group content during the work day, and he's not even saying what role he's playing.
Yes. It's bare minimum to name our specialization and what we still need with each request.
Let's see if I still have my keyboard macro:
"I'm a shitty under-geared DPS and I am LFG with tank, healer, and decent DPS"
Yep. My keyboard macro still works.
Edit: Self own aside, this approach did get me invited to the right groups.
Lol, my running group uses "CD" for cool-down. I'm always confused as to why and how they are cross-dressing for 2 kilometers.
CD is Change Directory!
No, that's "cd".
Headline:
BLM riots in Manhattan
Me:
Well that's pretty out of character for the Bureau of Land Management...
I wouldn't wish anyone General Motors
People be like LFG and I'm like Looking For Group in which game?
Wait, what else would it mean??
Let's fucking go.
Edit: for that matter, "LFG, LFG!" is a grammatically correct acronym sentence.
Game Master?
Thats where my head went too. Does it mean something else?
Gotta be good morning. Seems like a pretty unnecessary abbreviation to me
For those people you want to know that you care enough about them to wish a good morning, but not enough to type out the full words

im urbandictionarying stuff all the time, that's how i know it means "group masturbation"
I write my texts like I'm writing a cover letter or a wedding invitation to flex on the less erudite and meticulous.
I don't know how many times I had to look up "SMH" before I got it.
Then people started using "SMDH", and I could start all over again, because you can't figure simple damn things out after a certain age.
Those are simple. SMH: System Managed Heraldry, SMDH: Shaving my dog here!
My partner thought “SMH” meant “so much hate”, and “SMDH” meant “so much damn hate”. It worked perfectly in every situation they heard it in. I taught them the real meaning when I realized this about a half decade into dating.
I was really hoping that reading all the comments would inform me about what GM means here
given the context, i suspect it just means 'good morning'
The fact that someone would shorten 'good morning' to 'GM' and go through the trouble to put it in all caps bothers me
It's ridiculous how lazy people are today - especially that with autocorrect, it's often harder to type the shortened version of something than to let it complete the thing for you.
Voice transcription has gotten good enough, and my thumb has carpal tunnel bad enough, that this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
The other day someone told me they were otp with another person. I'm like, one time password? Google is like, one time password? Finally AI google was like, they mean "on the phone." Sigh I had to do research on this text.
“Please talk to me like I’m your grandmother. I’m tired of asking what you mean.”
My latest one was rq.
I thought it was a typo.
It stands for 'real quick'.
Make up your own abbreviations to reply is always fun. Or use out of context abbreviations. My abbreviation loving colleague was so confused when I used a few military terms they didn't know.
