A little long maybe, I assume it won’t be long until it’s just “likensub”.

Please comment as it drives the algorithm!
Future etymologists will conjecture that it has something to do with the popularization of an obscure lichen meme combined with a contraction of the word “submissive” within the BDSM context, and only started being used as an ironic punctuation to statements after another popular meme, similar to the origin of how “F” is used as a common, brief response to a tragedy.

This has the vibe of the Sims 2 voice that would leave for work saying “Shy-bye”.
Please comment, it helps my mental algorithm more than you realize.

We live in Czechia and my SO is teacher in local school. She asked a 6th grade girl what she wants to draw today and she literally responded “IDK”. It’s kind off weird how internet slang is slowly merging in everyday IRL vocabulary.
When I was younger, there were people who would actually say lol. I wouldn’t say it’s new, but I think the advent of the internet has certainly accelerated some aspects of linguistic evolution.
It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in a couple hundred years’ time to see where English goes from here.
for me “lol” and “lmao” are desperately trying to replace non-lexical sounds of amusement like “hah!” and “eeey!”
