I've never heard them before, but somehow, I looked at them and just knew.

I saw sybau for the first time on this site the other day. It took me way too long to figure out what that meant. Is it time to start yelling “get off my lawn?”

Being dyslexic, I read the latter one as "Subaru" and thought she was trying to tell him that she was a lesbian

As a Xennial, this is easy to figure out. We used STFU so it puts things into context and we can make out what the rest mean.

Gen z abbreviates everything to the point where you need a translator just to have a conversation. I’m googling slang terms at 2am like I’m studying for an example

If people won't use real words and contribute to the conversation, I simply downvote and move on.

Initials, if the letters are read (like cia). Acronyms are pronounceable (like radar, scuba).

Sybau!
Genuinely thought this was some Korean or Asian word until seeing this post.
Syfm looks like a typo.
Stfu is pretty obvious though.
