DOG POET~TIME TO STOP TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE WANG DANG DOODLE AND SIMPLY COME INTO HARMONY AND ACCORD WITH IT

Given the climes of the times, I did not think Johnny Depp would do as well as he did. It is out of character that this would happen in Times of Cancel Culture. Not only that, it took down The Big Tuna of #metoo. Forgive me if I seem ignorant or uninformed here. Isn't #metoo literally spoken as, Pound-me-too? The sense of irony that swept over me as it passed through my head is only matched by the irony that passed through me when I saw a photo, for the first time, of the founder of that meme.

It would be a meme, right? I am woefully uninformed in The Lingo... the contemporary lingua-franca. I don't know what most combinations of acronyms and initialisms mean, except for the obvious ones, like FBI and CIA. This is good... since I understand that most of them evolved out of a secret code language, having to do with sexual preferences... explored in the dark with strangers.

To me... all of these are forms of laziness. You note I use the word 'grin' in parentheses instead of smileys or what all. I prefer to type out what I mean, going the long way. I stop reading anything that is composed of these abbreviations for words, like 'u' instead of you, 'r' instead of are, 'c' instead of see. Then you can really get into the shorthand with “c u.”
