Since there are text messages, and then with the arrival of Twitter, the use of acronyms and abbreviations is part of the life of all. Despite the fact that the number of characters or words is, rather, a concern of the past, the younger generations continue to normalize this kind of words as part of your day-to-day. Babbel, app to learn languages, collects the acronyms most used centennials, the generation of those born since 1995. Do you know to decipher all of these messages?
do you Want to be my BAE? From the English, this anglicism takes some time forming part of the vocabulary of many young spaniards: namely from 2014, the year in which Pharrel Williams popularized the term with his song "Come Get It Bae" ("Come to seek it Bae"). Means "Before Anyone Else" ("Before anyone else"), and implies a compliment in couple relationships, lovers, or even friends and family, which is understood as "to be number one" of someone. Not to be confused with BFF, "Best Friend Forever" ("Best friend forever").
