I would call it more degradation than evolution. I agree with DonTheLamplighter. I think laziness most certainly does play a part in these abbreviations. as well as the delusion that it makes you look cool to use them.

It doesnt bother me when people write these shortened versions in short text messages. Some of them are ok to hear spoken. But when people start using them in formal conversations or documents, or using them as if they were legitimate* words, i feel great sorrow for civilization.
jayhiatt

Level 70
Jan 3, 2019
Yes. We should absolutely do away with all "illegitimate" words. Like texting (was originally text messaging), phone (originally telephone), gym (originally gymnasium), pea (originally pease. All of these were (probably originally viewed as incorrect) shortenings of words or phrases, and all have moved into common usage.
Dimby
+1
Level 75
Nov 18, 2021
In formal writing you should still use the terms "gymnasium", "telephone", and "text messaging" as opposed to informal shortened versions. Additionally, Internet should always be capitalized. As someone who reads a lot of amateur essays, I find informal writing annoying and tedious to correct all the time. Additionally, informal language makes language gaps worse, so academics are totally within their right to criticize informal language in academic work.

I think teens do, or the more shallow people that try to be populair (no offense, but well they do excist and do have their lingo).

I think only pic,app, congrats and indie are in normal use. Bro is common, but more informal then the above. (you could use those with say your neighbour, but unless you are best buddies you would not use bro)

And telly and barbie are rather common too under a wide public ( not just a subculture of specefic age or lifestyle)

Actually, many of these words are not modern in the slightest, such as 'rents, which is a word my 65 year old dad uses, and is completely shocked that NO ONE uses it any more. Same goes for words like 'lil, which also has gone out of fashion - I have never seen it in print at all except for when I was reading some Donald Duck comics from the 80s when I was growing up.

What are you talking about, Indie movies are huge, the Indie Film Festival every year is proof of that.

Indie music has its own category on Spotify, iTunes, and Pandora.

Indie games are also a category of games on their own. Go on Steam or other game providers and you will see the Indie category amongst others. Indie is probably one of the most popular ones there.

I think he was thinking of the normal use of the word. In any other place indepedent wont be replaced by indie. A kid that wants to leave home to stay on his own doesnt say I want to be indie..

And indeed I think many may not have realised it. I know I didnt use to know it. I had only heard indie games and indie movies and never independent games... Allways saw it as a word on its own, but was really curious why they used that word ( quarter still didnt dropped) Untill I finally knew what it was, cant remember how I found it out though, if I actively looked it up and found out some other way.

In my language it is tv (pronounced tay-vay, not tee-vee) and televisie and I think I used both about equal amounts, maybe slightly in favour of tv but not much, 60/40 at most.

Slightly dependent on the sentences, I'd say I am watching tv, but would say the television is broken (i guess in that cause in english you might say tv-set..)

Dec 9, 2014
After two years we can deduce that 'Za is just not a common shortening (lots of people didn't know it) and that a lot of people apparently used the word 'indie' without ever realising what word it was replacing. I quite like the fact that 'obvi' wasn't obvious, as well as not being actually "obvious". But I have to say that is also one I've never heard being used.

Last thing, guess what date this quiz suddenly just turned up on the popular list?

I doubt there are very many people anywhere who use all of these. people pick and choose, and I think it's more likely to use one of the shortenings if it's a word you use often, hence "perp" most likely originating from police officers.

"Perp" most definitely originated with the police, as did D/T/ P/O (Date, Time and Place of Occurrence); RDO (Regular Day Off) "Vic" (Victim);

NHI (No Human Involved) and a host of other abbreviations meant to

make their written reports less cumbersome.

I am convinced that most of these "word shortenings" are created by adolescents with the intent of driving adults insane. I wanted to strangle my nephew at least twice a week when he was a teen! His language deteriorated from "What's up", to "Wassup", to "S'up".

And maybe the previous generation(s) thought the same, from goodday to hello, to hey to hi.

I hate most of these "words" sooo much. And things normally do not bother me easily.

I am totally fine with pic bro and app, they are rather normall. But totes and obvs etc brrrr I nearly get goosebumps from it. And a little nauseous..

Btw do people really say za??? never heard of it and wouldnt have gotten it if it wasnt for the pic. (tried whatsup, like wazza, and then thought maybe thatsall 'sall => 'za. I guess in my mind I read it as a long za, zaaahhh and with pizza I suppose it is short??? I really cant imagine it being used in a sentence..)

Bro is by far away the most insufferable. It drops the speaker to about zero on the taken seriously scale.

I don't know. Pronouncing probably as prolly is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Totes is a close second. Bro seems pretty inoffensive by comparison. (Depends on usage, though).

Plenty of these words have gone out of fashion, and would not be considered modern in the slightest, such as 'za, 'rents, ridic, 'lil and peeps. The only people who tend to use these words (look at the comment section for example) are our parents who are in their 60s or older. Hardly modern then, are they, if they have already gone out of fashion?

Given how many rappers are named "Lil", I'd say that one is far more popular than ever. "Peeps" probably peaked around the time of that Shaggy song.

But yeah, "rents" is old-fashioned now.

Another appropriate answer for "fab" could be "fabricate" or "fabrication" (at least, it's very common in the blue collar working world). I got the correct answer, so NBD either way.

You know you're too much of a foodie when the first thing that comes to mind when you hear 'app' is appetizer and not application. But I still think it should be accepted or replaced.

i thought "cuz" more commonly meant because, so i looked it up and it says the meaning is because

please accept because for both "cuz" "cus"

from the dictionary:

because.

You know your generation is doomed when you recognize most of these without even being from an English speaking country.... I'm from Germany and I absolutely hate it when people use words like "bro", "legit" or "fam" in a GERMAN conversation. And believe me when I say it happens very often. They use "nice" instead of "gut", "fresh" instead of "schick", "lost" instead of "verloren" and so on. It really has become a tragedy. Our traditional German dialects are dying out and they get replaced by that shit?

this is so inaccurate nobody says za or tude or ridic or rents or perp or telly (unless you're bri'ish) or cuz for cousins, cuz is another one for because, also bc, obviously is obv, totes is outdated, peeps is someone out of the loop tryna (trying to, there another one) sound cool especially at like a church camp of something, indie is for games, burbs is for adults mainly cuz high schoolers don't talk about suburbs, fam and fab are also pretty dated they belong in like 2014
