Help on terms

OK. I may sound like I know what I talk about most of the time. But I can assure you 99.9% is BS :).

Anyways, I am at a lose most of the times for the terms used for anime.
Is there some list that tells me what the abbreviations or terms are and what they mean? I get basic ones like BL, Harem etc but there are, I have NO idea what they are.

I would like to know so I don't look at the screen and go DUH!

So you have the same issues as me?

In part. I've been online for better then 20 years so I've seen a lot of abbreviations and slang come and go over the years. I mean how often do you see ymmv or iirc anymore? So honestly new terms are always popping up *shrug* lol nor does it help I basically live in a bubble anymore, here and NUF are basically all the interactions outside of family I subject myself to xD

So yeah, there will always be new slang and abbreviations to learn.

I have not been into Anime and that for long, so it's basically all new to me. Sometimes on NUF I have just asked, but some people there get testy if you ask. They think you should know or something.

A lot of rude ones over there. Here seems good for now.

Anyways, I will keep looking around to try and figure out what means what. Or just nod along....hahahaha

There was a thread in general chat that had a bunch of terms, it will take a bit of digging to find but it's there. Think it even was asking for exactly what you're aswell
