 AA>>> "idk" - I had to look that one up!  :D

 AA> Those are new to me too.  So.. is there a new generation of

i wouldn't call it a new generation... just more things are being shortened
like we did 30 years ago...

  IDK   = I Don't Know (you already looked up)
  WDYM  = What Do You Mean
  ISWYD = I See What You Did (There)
  PFP   = ProFile Picture (eg: noice PFP!)

mainly new common phrases for the most part... there are moar but i think
urban dictionary and similar cover them better than i/we could here ;)
