Sometimes you have a lot to say, whether you're crafting a social post on a hot-button issue or divulging the latest, hot gossip about your date last night.
Unfortunately, we don't always have enough time, or words, to include every intricate detail. That's where slang can help. Certain phrases can aid your digital storytelling, and shorten your character count.
Instead of gushing over your favorite athlete's performance in last night's game, you can call them the "GOAT." Or if someone tells you too much personal information, you might say "TMI."
Before you start drafting your next DM, here's what "TL;DR" means and how to use it.
"TL;DR" stands for "too long, didn't read," according to Merriam-Webster. The slang has several uses, depending on its context.
The primary use is when something – whether a social media post or book – is lengthy and would require a lot of time to read. For instance, if someone asked about your thoughts on Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace," you might reply "TL;DR."
More colloquially, "TL;DR" can be used to summarize the main point or message of a long story or discussion – "TL;DR is I shouldn't have made pasta at home. There was flour and butter all over my kitchen and my dog."
"TL;DR" can also used as an adjective to express that something provides summary information.
