B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for April 11, 2024

It’s only a timesaver when texting.

Birmingham Royal Ballet. Biometric Research Branch. British Railways Board. Blue Ridge Broadcasting. Bright Red Blood. (OK, that’s enough.)

LOL

Yeah, I hate these things. If you don’t take the time to write, why should I take the time to reply?

Saying “BRB” has the same number of syllables as “Be Right Back”.

There is a shortcut, but it takes longer.

It takes just as long to say “B-R-B”. as to say “be right back”.

If you no typing full theeng then no bothers to converses.

Now that she knows, all the time in the future she saves.

My screen is kinda on the small size. At first I thought she said, “Gonna check the mail bra.”

Which made me wonder. Did males really wear bras back in those days?

I always think of the sound I make when I gulp down a bottle of seltzer too quickly when I see BRB.

LOL

TTFN

When speaking it, “I will be back” with a Schwarzeneggerian accent is cooler.

So how did she swivel her head around 180 degrees?

I worked with a man whose initials were BRB. He was not always right back.

“World Wide Web” is one of the few phrases that takes less time to say than its abbreviation, “www”

New dialect!!!!!

I feel like this comic would have been better 10-15 years ago… There are adults that are younger than “brb” at this point

WWW is 9 syllables. World Wide Web is 3

Sure.. today, but think of the time it will save when I use it tomorrow and the next day.

BRB

Jargon can save time, but takes some study.

It would have saved time if she wouldn’t have had to exposing the abbreviation to you!!

LSMFT: Lucky Strike Means Finer Tobacco.

I’ve never smoked, but can’t forget that silly phrase.

Thank goodness for the acronym side of Google … of course, we had our own at Bell Labs in the ‘60s, ’70’s, 80s, but in the 90’s ’twere mostly Washington, D.C. for National Security and Emergency Preparedness.

It barely makes sense when typing.

“But if I explain it once think of it all the times I don’t have to explain it afterwards or spend that time saying it.”

And World Wide Web has 3 syllables. W W W has 9.
