🔘 BFF
What does BFF stand for?
◻️Awkward
BFF means "best friends forever." It is a popular acronym that refers to your best friend, pal, or mate and communicates that your bond will last forever.
BFF is used online and offline and is reserved for only the most special person in your life, so choose wisely. Many people may try to come between BFFs, especially crushes. But your friendship must supersede these temporary distractions, or else the magic dissipates.
❓Example

◻️Good luck, have fun, talk to you later
GLHFTTYL stands for "good luck, have fun, talk to you later." Primarily, gamers use this acronym while signing off from online gaming sessions, to wish their fellow players good fortune.

🔘 F4F
What does F4F mean on social media?
◻️Follow for follow
F4F means "follow for follow." It is used on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram to tell other users that, if they follow you, you'll follow them back - ensuring that both your follower counts grow.
Because social media platforms boost posts made by people with large numbers of followers, many users attempt to gain followers however they can. F4Fing is a relatively mild and organic way of attempting to gain followers, as opposed to spamming hashtags in your posts or utilizing algorithms and bots to gain followers automagically.
If you want to let people know you'll follow them if they follow you, be sure to add the #F4F hashtag to your Twitter, TikTok, or Insta posts. If you want to look for users who will follow you if you follow them, you can search for others' use of the #F4F hashtag.
❓Example
RT if you need followers! I love you all! #F4F #FF

🔘 NFT
What is an NFT?
◻️Non-fungible token
A non-fungible token, often referred to as an "NFT," is a unique digital asset that is part of a blockchain, usually the open-source Ethereum. It is primarily used to verify ownership of digital artwork sold and collected online.
NFTs increased in usage in 2020, partially because the Covid-19 pandemic limited the exchange of actual artwork. They are a form of currency on a blockchain, which is a type of database linked together like a chain using cryptography.
Blockchains provide helpful information about transactions that cannot be modified. They are also transparent, allowing users to view the transactions and recognize ownership of assets.
An NFT, which is part of a blockchain, functions similarly to a receipt that provides proof of a digital asset's purchase and ownership. Anything digital can be sold and collected as an NFT, but an NFT is primarily an image or video artwork.
❓Example
I just paid $15 for an NFT
Oh yeah, what did you get?
Katie's tweet about sandwiches
SMH, you're such a simp.

🔘 Airdrop
What is a cryptocurrency airdrop?
◻️A cryptocurrency marketing event
A cryptocurrency airdrop is a giveaway of free crypto coins. Airdrops are often part of marketing events, in which users receive coins in exchange for promoting a new or up-and-coming cryptocurrency. The coins are sent directly to a user's cryptocurrency wallet, provided the user completes the airdrop's conditions.
Are cryptocurrency airdrops scams?
No and yes. No, in that many airdrops are legitimate promotions, and yes, in that some airdrops are pump-and-dump schemes in which the cryptocurrency's owners are attempting to inflate their coins' value before selling them. Other malicious airdrops ask users to provide their crypto wallet's private key, which gives access to the users' other cryptocurrency. So, before you engage in a crypto airdrop, make sure you do your DD.
❓Example
I'm so glad I hopped on that Dogecoin airdrop years ago. Now I just have to figure out when to sell

🔘 Mk
What does mk mean?
◻️Okay
Mk is a shortened way to say "Okay" that people typically use when they are unsure but still say want to answer in the affirmative. For example, if the girl you went on a date with once wants to introduce you to her parents, you might think it's too early, but you also don't want to appear rude, so you reply with, "mk."

❓Example
You gonna come over tonite?
mk, I guess I'll go
