🔘 FYI What does FYI stand for? ◻️For your information FYI is an acronym that prefaces an informative statement. For example, your mom may text you, "FYI - don't use the upstairs toilet. Dad clogged it." FYI is similar to the JSYK acronym and skinny term. People commonly use it in emails to share information with the recipients, which can get annoying when they grow numerous and repetitive. People also use FYI as a noun, i.e., "Just an FYI, next week's meeting has been canceled." ❓Example FYI, black and navy blue typically shouldn't be worn together Gotcha, thanks! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 TMI What does TMI stand for? ◻️Too much information TMI is an acronym for too much information used to notify a person when he or she shares something inappropriate. It is often spoken out loud to save time and sound funny. TMI is often used to cut someone off when they are providing more details than you want to hear, i.e. "Woah, TMI!" Common culprits that need to be told "TMI" include your mom or creeper co-workers. ❓Example OK, that's TMI... I don't think you need to tell me anymore! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Workcation What is a workcation? ◻️A working vacation A workcation is when a person remotely works while on vacation (a combination of "work" and "vacation"), possibly from a hotel or Airbnb rental. For example, you may vacation at a beach home with your family but spend business hours working on your laptop while they play at the beach. Since the advent of remote work, the line between employees' personal and professional lives has blurred. Remote work (WFH, WFA, and WFX) significantly increased in the 2010s with tech progression (e.g., advancement of computer performance and Internet speeds) and exploded in the early 2020s during covid social distancing restrictions. Typically, there are two primary reasons for workcations: 1) The worker does not have enough vacation days but still wants to go on vacation, or 2) the worker is a workaholic, struggling to disengage from work responsibilities, especially if co-workers or employers are demanding 24/7 access to them. Companies may also hold conferences or group business trips that employees might refer to as workcations. ❓Example How was your vacation in the Bahamas? Great! Except Geoffrey made it a workcation when he helped broker a deal the whole time we were there Bummer. :/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 ROFL What does ROFL stand for in messages and online? ◻️Rolling on the floor laughing ROFL stands for "rolling on the floor laughing," which is meant to say that you think something is so funny that you fell to the ground laughing. It is most often sent in text messages, but may also be used online on social sites or in chatrooms. ROFL is similar to LMAO (laughing my a** off) in popularity and hyperbole. Both of these acronyms are used as a more expressive version of LOL (laughing out loud). You will most likely see ROFL as a funny comment online, an image posted on social media, a goofy sound you heard with another person, or a video you received in a text message. And ROFL will probably only be sent by a teenager or young adult, but some older adults do like to use it to sound cool. ❓Example I was ROFL after that last comment he made! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 CRAFT What does CRAFT stand for? ◻️Can't remember a freakin' thing CRAFT stands for "can't remember a freakin' thing." If you're drawing a blank on a particular fact or topic, you can tell the person you're chatting with that you CRAFT. However, because CRAFT is an uncommon acronym, using it in a chat, email, or text message may confuse the person you're talking to. For example, if someone asks you what you did last night, and you say that you CRAFT, the person might think you spent your evening knitting or creating jewelry. ❓Example I have to take the test tomorrow, and I feel like I CRAFT! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Honeydude What does honeydude mean? ◻️A boyfriend or husband used for his money A honeydude is a guy that is used by his SO for his money. The honeydude is used romantically for things like expensive gifts, nice vacations, mansions to live in, or just straight up dough. A honeydude is the same thing as a sugar daddy but without the large age difference. The female version of honeydude is honeygal. ❓Example She thinks she's set for life cuz she got a honeydude ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 H/w What is h/w short for? ◻️Homework H/w is a common way to abbreviate homework, which is schoolwork a teacher assigns to students to work on outside of class at home. It may be an essay, book report, presentation, worksheet, or another type of task. Many students despise h/w because it infringes on their free time outside of school, like going to a movie or hanging out at a friend's house. Nevertheless, students in elementary school to college have to work on h/w, although the way they complete it has changed over the years. For example, students in the 1980s had to complete their work on paper with a pencil, pen, or typewriter; but students in the 2020s often complete and submit their work on a computer via the Internet. Mostly tweens, teens, and young adults use the abbreviation. You can also remove the slash in the abbreviation to make hw. ❓Example Do you know if that class is going to have a lot of h/w? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix
