Social Media and Chat Terms
In online chat, people type initial consonants or short acronyms to move fast. This lesson covers the terms you'll see most on social media and messengers.
1. γ γ (OK)
'γ γ ' is written with just the initial consonants of 'μ€μΌμ΄' β 'γ ' for 'μ€' and 'γ ' for 'μΌμ΄.' It signals agreement or acceptance.
2. γ±γ± (Let's go / Go ahead)
'γ±γ±' comes from English 'go go' and means 'let's go' or 'let's start.' It's common in gaming and when making plans.
3. μΈμΈ / μμΈ (Insider / Outsider)
'μΈμΈ' and 'μμΈ' shorten 'insider' and 'outsider.' 'μΈμΈ' is a sociable person who fits right in; 'μμΈ' is someone who'd rather keep to themselves.
4. γ γ / γ γ / γ γ (Laughing and crying)
'γ γ ' is laughter (the 'haha' sound), while 'γ γ ' is a softer chuckle or smile. 'γ γ ' and 'γ γ ' picture crying eyes to show sadness or disappointment.
5. γ γ / γ γ / γΉγ (Agree / wow / for real)
'γ γ ' stands for 'μΈμ ' (I agree, true), 'γΉγ ' for 'λ μ' (for real), and 'γ γ ' for 'λ―Έμ³€λ€' (that's insane). They're quick, punchy reactions.
