    I know these acronyms are commonly used and constantly being created but why? I've survived life without the use of "phubbing" or "lit"...and ya know bcuz I didn't know these nonsensical, childish short forms doesn't mean I feel older, actually I feel wiser. I've never had to say that Netflix thing, lit about being drunk, just say it for what it is...we're entitled to our opinion and that's mine. Rather comical.
