Hi everybody, welcome back to weekly words. I'm Alicia, and this week we are going to talk about Internet lingo.

Internet lingo is a fun topic.

The first word that we're going to talk about, or the first phrase, or first acronym, I suppose, is SMH, which means shaking my head, or some way to explain that you are disapproving of whatever you've just

seen or whatever you've just read. So it's not really used so much in a sentence as it is

at like the end of a sentence. For example, did you see that recent news story? SMH.

The next word is BTW.

This also notes that people will say BT Dubs, where dubs is sort of a casual short version of W.

This means, by the way, so when you're speaking to somebody and you want to change the topic to something that might be a little bit related to whatever you're talking about at that moment, you can use BTW.

You might say, hey, I heard about that new job that you got.

BTW, how's the salary?

There might be a little bit too direct of an example, but you kind of get the idea.

Any place you would use, by the way,

you can use BTW. Next is, really? Spelled Y-O-L-O, but it's usually read as an action,

as a new word. It's pronounced YOLO, and it stands for, you only live once. People will usually

say it, and it tends to be, at least from what I've seen, young people.

They will usually say this before they do something crazy. You see a video of somebody's who's

had too much to drink and they decide they're going to, I don't know, jump off a house.

And right before they do it, they scream, YOLO! Meaning, you only live once, so I'd better do this now.

That's kind of the implied meaning of it.

Okay, the next one is TBH, to be honest.

Oh, this is great. I can use this in relation to the last word we just talked about.

TBH, I don't think particularly highly of people who use the word YOLO.
