Edited To Add. The constant barrage of TLAs is exhausting.
What does TLA stand for in this context?
Three Letter Acronym
Beautiful
Fucking hell, lol
CIA = Can't Ignore Ass
FBI = For Better Income
NSA = Not Sucking Anyone
TIL
There are also Extended Three-Letter Acronyms, because e.g. Four-Letter Acronym would be a TLA.
We can go deeper.
Next is the Doubly Extended Three Letter Acronym.
I am one of the 10,000 today.
Never seen it used like that before. Usually just use Edit:
It’s weird when Reddit started shifting from ETA: “everyone’s the asshole” to exited to add.
Idk I guess it’s the kids and their new dang language and hippity hop music

Huh. I used reddit for about 12 years before switching to Lemmy last year and I don't think I ever noticed ETA. Maybe just different subs used it.
That was only in the "am I the asshole" sub which was a trash fire you were wise to avoid.
FWIW IIRC “ETA” actually= “ESH”, Everyone Sucks Here
