Does the internet scare you? (Aside from when you click on this.) It's easy to get lost in the chasm of acronyminous language that plagues the 'net' when you are unfamiliar with the digital lexicon at play. It has it's own grammar, vocabulary, syntax--all of which takes centuries to master. Fortunately for you, we here at The Get Down are older than dirt and smarter than Socrates' lovechild with Aristotle, and more importantly, we feel your pain. It's that blend of sympathy and patriarchal charity (read: superiority) that has encouraged us to develop this helpful webtionary for your benefit, so you can one day master the language, navigate the net, and remember that we're way smarter than you. So we give you the Indespensable Internet Acronym Guide For Daily Communication and Validation. Let's get started shall we!
