Hugs are actually so underrated especially those hugs that are so tight u can literally feel the other person’s heartbeat n for a moment everything feels so calm and safe like nothing can hurt you

reading text speak in french is so odd but I love it. are there things like “lol” in french that french speakers use but english speakers don’t?

This is a fun question. I grew to type everything properly in french in my texts so I’m bad at this but here is what I remember or still catch in other people’s texts.

How To (Badly) French Text 101 – The basics

MDR: Mort de rire (Dying of laughter)

SLT: Salut (Hi)

BJR: Bonjour (Hello)

DSL: Désolé(e) (Sorry)

JTM: Je t’aime (I love you)

RPZ: Représente (Represent. It’s some kind of a joke)

OKLM: Au calme (chill)

TKT: T’inquiètes pas (Don’t worry)

DTC: Dans ton cul (in your ass)

VTF: Vas te faire (go fuck yourself)

RAF: Rien à faire/foutre (I don’t care/give a fuck)

SMS: A text/message

And that’s all I could think of

I always loved “plop”, which is a common greeting in French MMOs, basically “salut”. You might enter a battleground on World of Warcraft and see a million people saying “Plop!” “PLOP” in the chat, which sounds ridiculous in English.

I remember asking “Why is everyone saying “plop” and “murder” (MDR)?”

My French friend also taught me some more:

TG: Ta guele (Shut up)

PTN: Putain (F*ck)

STP: S’il te plaît (Please)

Also:
BSR: bonsoir (good evening)
CAD: c’est-à-dire (that is to say)
A+: à plus tard (see you later)
EN+: en plus (on top of that)

But I’m sure there’s still a lot more 😉

@takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever, plz verify.

I didn’t
know some of these, and there’s a lot I don’t use (in fact I only use DSL, DTC,
TG, TG, STP/SVP (s’il vous plait) and @+), but everything is correct, except
for some little mistakes here and there : 

T’inquiètes pas” ; 

Vas te faire” (foutre) ; and of course “ta gueule”

I also use :

  • c for “c’est”
  • CQFD : ce qu’il fallait démontrer (that which was to be demonstrated)
  • Qd mm :
    quand même (though/still)
  • And a last
    one, not very clever but… meh, I like it : CMB/CTB : comme ma bite/ comme
    ta bite (like my dick/ your dick)
