There are new abbreviations used in conversational english especially online these days. I looked it up and when I saw the meaning I said "ahh" . Ate there other abbreviations I need to know of to feel less old, and left out lol? I know the meaning of LOL and LMAO though.

Oh yes, and now that I know that 'smh' does not include any bad language, I can freely use it in my texts and posts as needed. LOL ( I already use that one )

@yoalldudes I might come in handy to write it down and keep it close by as you type and text. There are numerous times where we would shake our head.

I was one for acronym when I was in elementary school. The Social Studies teacher forced us to memorize. However, I was also surprised at the new lingo which probably emanated from saving space and characters in text messaging, What does SMH mean. I do not know that yet. But HHWW is something I learned ages ago. Holding hands while walking.

Now a days people use so many shortened words. Many of us do not know the meaning of these for many years!
