Adivina xD.
I'm not sure you understood the point of the post. The linked page lists several acronyms, without giving the full phrases that those acronyms are for:
MCDLR (LMAO) MCDLRGEEP (ROFLMAO) BLNL (TLDR) CALV (STFU) VALV (GTFO) PO (OP)
So I was inviting learners of r/Spanish to see if they could figure out the full phrase that each one expands to.
Ah, disregard that; I see you're just adding to the list.
MCDLRGEEP
En español es más fácil escribir «xD»
I'll start with the easy one:
PO = póster original
Edit: Found this too, after a bit of Googling:
VALV = Vete a la verga
...which seems to literally mean "Go-away to the cock".
Me cago de la risa
Cállate a la verga
Bastante largo, no leí
Most of them are Mexican slang and would sound weird como la chingada in other countries.
a la verga
Can you add this to anything, for swearing emphasis? e.g. Would "Siéntate a la verga" mean "Sit the fuck down"?
Exactly. In different regions, different words mean different levels of fuckery. Where I've lived (Mexico City and Guadalajara) a la chingada would be an intermediate level, and a la verga a very high level, except that "cállate a la verga" is way more common than "cállate a la chingada" (I don't think I've ever used or heard that)
Also, in the northern cities I believe they use a la verga way more often than a la chingada, which is more common in central cities.
Póster means "poster" as in "poster" not "user that posts something to a forum".
In r/argentina we use two common abbreviations from reddit in Spanish:
HAQ = Hoy Aprendí Que... (TIL)
AEPV = Arreglé Eso Por Vos (FTFY)
Some people seem to dislike it, though. Users normally stick to the English acronyms.
la dificultad se encuentra en que como ya ves en ese hilo, las expresiones se difieren segun el pais donde estes, entonces lol en un pais no tiene por que ser traducido igualmente en mexico que en argentina. nadie en espana diria vete a la verga, por ejemplo.
ademas, las abreviaturas inglesas ya estan bien establecidas y eso tiene su propio peso, porque nadie tiene ganas de usar las espanolas si piensa que al fin y al cabo no se entendera.
*disculpa la falta de acentos, escribo con teclado frances y no se hacerlos.
