Social Media Jargon

social media jargon

Do you ever read a Facebook post or a tweet and wonder â€œWhat in the heck are they talking about?â€ or what someone means when they post â€œTRS but you are KIRâ€?Â  The conveniences offered by new methods of communication such as texting, instant messaging, and especially social media have increased the use of jargon to shorten words as a way to get messages across faster.Â  So instead of saying â€œThat really sucks but you are keepinâ€™ it realâ€ you could just say â€œTRS but you are KIRâ€.Â  Jargon is also increasingly used as a way to shorten messages for easier reading or as required by the tool being used such as Twitter, which allows only up to 140 characters per tweet.Â 

So if you often feel lost in the jargon used when snooping around in your kidsâ€™ text messages or reading through Facebook posts then maybe this alphabetical list of what I call â€œsocial media jargonâ€ will help you out.Â
