Alright I am creating this thread because I'm a little behind on what some of the new abbreviations are so I figured this thread could help me as well as other people. Let me start by asking what does T-T mean?

WayfaringCoyote · Sep 19, 2020

T-T means crying. The T's represent eyes with tears streaming out from them, with the "-" forming the mouth.

Alright thanks, I'll come back here when I see and remember others.

If it helps, I don't send a lot of texts either, so there are probably some I don't know.

What I find among Zoomers is that everything in their text carries holistic value. For example, selecting one emoji vs. another. For me, an emoji has limited applicability and meaning. It is what it symbolizes and not much more.

But with Zoomers, that doesn't seem to be completely true. Rather, many emojis are identical to each other, differing only in color. Selecting one identical emoji from a different identical emoji based on color connotes a meaning that is foreign to my way of thinking. But it carries tremendous meaning to Zoomers.

Iow, get used to feeling lost.

I could be wrong but I think he means that among the "Zoomers" there's additional meaning that goes with different emotes that express the same type of expression. For example, :) and :>

Both of them represent a smiling face, but they can mean different things. The :) emote is often seen as an ominous smile (didn't use to be that way though), whereas :> is more of a cutesy or "he he" kind of smile... I think.

So basically there may be nuances among certain groups of people, but you probably don't have to worry about it.

Okay, what does uwu and qwu mean?

uwu is related to owo. Both are "cat faces" of sorts. owo is associated with furries, while uwu has found use among non-furries. uwu is like a calmer, more laid back, shyer or humbler owo. It may also be used ironically in a sort of cheeky way, like "I don't know what you're talking about uwu".

I have no clue what qwu is. I figure q would be an open eye with a tear coming out of it, and it'd be used in something like qwq to represent a crying cat face... but I've never seen qwu.
