The FBI cares what you accept to say on Twitter. It cares so abundant that it created an 83-page certificate about "Twitter Shorthand." The adviser includes 2,800 entries that basically bulk to every acronym accepted to man—along with absolutely a few that I didn't even apperceive existed.
Here's one: WYLABOCTGWTR. That cord of characters clearly means, "Would you like a basin of chrism to go with that remark?" Well, that's a awe-inspiring byword I've never heard before. But it accept to abide if it's in the FBI's adviser to Twitter slang!
I'm accepting advanced of myself, though. There is a purpose to this adviser and it's printed at the top of every page. "With the appearance of Twitter and added amusing media on the Internet, the use of autograph and acronyms has exploded," reads the introduction. "This account has about 2,800 entries you should acquisition advantageous in your plan or for befitting up with your accouchement and/or grandchildren." Or, presumably, communicable criminals.
The adviser is simple to use: It's just a account of acronyms or argot agreement and their definitions acquaint about on the FBI's defended intranet. The transparency-loving website MuckRock managed to get ahold of it acknowledgment to a FOIA appeal and some patience. The FBI describes the account as "extensive—but far from exhaustive" and says it applies to "Twitter as able-bodied as added amusing media venues such as burning messages, Facebook and Myspace." Yes, Myspace.
Now, about those 2,800 entries. Old humans will acknowledge the accuracy of some contrarily abstract acronyms. But all humans will be abashed by a few of the acronyms. Let's yield a look.
BTW - by the way
This is a acceptable one! Kids use it gracefully, and they use it often. It's absolutely a accept to for angry crime.
BTWITIAILWU or BTWITIAILWY - by the way, I anticipate I'm in adulation with you
Huh? Aboriginal of all, that's a lot of belletrist for an acronym. At a assertive point, they just becloud calm and accomplish your academician bleed. Second, who the heck confesses their adulation for anyone with an abstruse acronym on amusing media? Come to anticipate of it, a hasty amount of humans probably do.
BTDTGTTSAWIO - been there, done that, got the T-shirt and wore it out
We haven't even gotten out of the B's yet.
C - see
Is it art?
GAMMD - go ahead, accomplish my day
Ahhh, now we're accepting into the bent talk. Maybe that's why some of these acronyms are obscure. Would be felons wish to act boxy but abstain red flags. At aboriginal glance, GAMMD looks beneath like a blackmail and added like a appellation for your grandmother.
ILYAAM - I adulation you as a mate
This is confusing. Does it beggarly mate, like anyone who you aftermath baby with? Or mate, like what British humans alarm their friends? If so, why is the FBI traveling afterwards British people? Also, why does the adviser accept 23 altered means of adage "I adulation you?" These accept to be some actual affectionate abyss they're chasing.
N1 - nice one
I've never apparent this one before, but I'm absolutely traveling to alpha application it. N1, FBI!
PMYMHMMFSWGAD - absolution me, you accept to accept mistaken me for anyone who gives a damn
This is accepting ridiculous.
ROFLMAOPMP or ROFLMAOWPIMP - rolling on the attic bedlam my a** off (while) peeing (in) my pants
Like, absolutely ridiculous.
RTD - accessible to drink
After aggravating to amount out this guide, I am too!
S4S - abutment for abutment (mutual abutment of Myspace pages)
The accomplished certificate is added fun if you alcohol every time you see a Myspace mention.
STA - surveillance and ambition acquisition
Last time I checked, this was a acceptable and accessible biking bureau for students. We are talking about the FBI here, though, so I assumption some appropriate ability is required.
TWEETUP - an in-person affair of Twitter members
Hey it's a argot word! You'd never apperceive it by the use of all-caps, but whatever. Also, the admittance of this chat makes me admiration whether a tweetup is a acceptable abode to accommodated a consecutive killer.
W4W - whore for whore (mutual abutment of Myspace pages)
Drink!
YOLO - you alone reside once
Now that the FBI has baffled Twitter, its analysts can move assimilate new challenges like answer Tumblr and GIFs. Here's a advancement for its aboriginal entry:
