    For the win? And if it's right I only know because there's a gaming store near me with that name

    That sounds right, but I don't know, tbh.
    Ooh, that reminds me of another mysterious abbreviation. I just said To Be Honest, for anyone who is curious.

    I could understand the use of abbreviations when the net was young and slow, when text messages were restricted to 128 characters.
    Why oh why do we still have to abbreviate in the present when texts are unrestricted and the net has matured.
    If you are intending sending a message then why not be completely clear in your communication.
    FFS :D

    Because texting on a phone is still a PITA. I don't mind spelling things out all the way when I am on a normal keyboard but on a phone is especially annoying.

    I barely know what macros are why would I know what iify means
    Ah, that is not textese, but a diet term. IIFYM is a very flexible diet/lifestyle. If It (a food that you want) Fits Your Macronutrient needs (cals, fat, protein, etc), enjoy (with appropriate moderation, of course)! HTH (Hope this helps)! :)
