Internet Acronyms and Abbreviations You May Not Know The Meaning Of

I’ve seen a lot of new words and terms in the internet this year (including SMS and other forms of digital communication), and really, I had to Google most of the internet slang or I had to have someone explain it to me. These were the cases when I see someone call another their bae, tweets sepanx or says that they’re bored af.
