In the fast-paced world of technology, social media language has become popular, especially among the younger generation, known as Gen Z. Text abbreviations and emojis have become essential tools for conveying emotions, reactions and sentiments.
While some may argue this language is not an effective way to communicate, young people have mastered the art of using a few letters to convey a message. Emojis have also become a crucial aspect of online communication, allowing users to express emotions without explicitly saying them.
However, not everyone is fluent in this new language.
According to an analysis of Google search data for 2025, the most searched abbreviations include FWB (friends with benefits), NB (non-black), ATM (at the moment) and LMAO (laughing my a** off).
The research, conducted by Unscramblerer.com, also revealed that “MXM” (whatever), often used to express irritation or frustration, was the eighth-most searched abbreviation with 5,000 searches.
