Chat abbreviations can be found again and again in SMS, WhatsApp and also in e-mails. They are just as indispensable in our communication today as a whole list of emojis.
However, the chat abbreviations are not always that easy to understand. Often there are two or more abbreviations for one and the same meaning. Do you know off the top of your head what, for example, "BF" means? By the way: The abbreviation "BF" shows us the opposite case. Here, an abbreviation can mean two different things. On the one hand, "BF" means "best friend" when written out. On the other hand, "BF" can also mean "boyfriend" and thus the "steadfast friend". Did you know?
