The term “man flu” stems from the idea that men are prone to exaggerating the severity of their symptoms when experiencing the common cold or another minor ailment. Although the phrase is most often used in a tongue-in-cheek way, there may be some merit to the male whine. In 2017’s customarily playful (but still peer-reviewed) Christmas edition of The BMJ, professor Kyle Sue pointed to research suggesting that men are more susceptible to complications when suffering from an acute respiratory disease. They’re also more likely to go to the hospital and, unfortunately, succumb to the flu.
Most people accept one of two meanings for SMH. Some people say it means "Scratching My Head," but others say it means, "Shaking My Head."
Acronym for 'shake my head' or 'shaking my head.' Usually used when someone finds something so stupid, no words can do it justice. Sometimes it's modified to 'smfh' or 'smmfh' by those that prefer profanity in their internet acronyms.
Doomscrolling is a relatively new term for when you're stuck scrolling through bad news on your phone—even though you might want to, you just can't look away.
The psychology behind this phenomenon is pretty simple. Part of it relates to the concept of automaticity—actions you do without your conscious mind acknowledging it, often divorced from the passage of time. Endless scrolling is one of those things. The other part is that the human brain is hardwired to prioritize things that scare us as well as information related to survival, and bad news often fits into both of those categories. Combine those two elements of human nature with the intentionally addictive designs of our electronics, and that makes doomscrolling all but inevitable.
No, it actually means 'Be Back Soon' ie.
User1: g2g bbs asap (Got to go be back soon, as soon as possibe)
User2: kk ttyl (okay talk to you later)
It is easy, and plus some people want to use slang so that their parents or anyone else doesn't know what they are talking about. It is the same with txt mssgng (text messaging) as people are so lazy that they cn't even use vwls anymore!
It is also indicative of a poor vocabulary and difficulty of sef-expresion. Slang has a place in social situations , but if you want a good job, learn and use proper English in the workplace.

Typing an F in the chat of a video game stream is a way to (often jokingly) pay tribute to a dead character or some other unfortunate thing that's befallen the player. It originated in 2014's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, where, in a scene at a friend's funeral, players on the PC are prompted to hit the F key to pay their respects. Lots of people thought the forced action during a memorial service was a bit cringy, so "press F to pay respects" started getting used sarcastically, and it spread from there.
