[nerd alert] “The Difference Engine” by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Alternate world science fiction where Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage actually built computers in their lifetimes. The novel pretty much invented ‘steam punk’
What is the point of verbal abbreviation imitating a text abbreviation when the verbal abbreviation is as long to say as the unabbreviated version. For example, the last panel: “No cap, frfr” is the same amout of effort as to say, “No lie, for real for real”. Is it to obscure what one says from the understanding of non-members of one’s group/generation? Get off my lawn, you kids!
