Today, I'm going to teach you 10 English acronyms that are often used on the internet.

IDK stands for "I don't know," and it's a very common response used in texts or messages.

People usually use it after they've said something to explain that they weren't serious.

It's also sometimes used when someone wants to take back what they just said.

It's used when someone finds something stupid or ridiculous, since shaking your head at someone can mean that you're annoyed or dismayed at them.

I lent Scott money over a week ago and he still hasn't paid me back.

If someone tells you details about something that you think are too private or that you just don't want to hear, you can type TMI to let them know that they've crossed the line!

It's usually used as a response when someone says thank you!

Thank you so much for helping me out yesterday!

People usually use this before they say something honest or straightforward to try to make it sound a bit less harsh.

Someone might type this before they share their opinion on something in order to let people know that what they're saying is only their opinion. It's not fact.

Do you think I should get her flowers or jewelry?

R. O. F. L., or ROFL, stands for "rolling on the floor laughing."

It's a way to say that something is hilarious.

And it's similar to LOL, which stands for "laughing out loud," but it's a bit more exaggerated.

TL;DR stands for "too long; didn't read."

People might send this in reply to a message that was so long that they didn't bother reading it.

Some people also write TL;DR at the end of long posts online, and then write a sentence that lets people know their main point.

Instead of just saying bye at the end of every online conversation that you have, you can try saying TTYL.
