cyberspeak
Digital communication slang
Cyberspeak is informal language associated with the internet and digital communication.
It encompasses slang, abbreviations, and jargon that emerged from online communities, including terms like LOL, noob, and troll.
The word itself feels somewhat dated, belonging to an era when internet culture seemed novel enough to warrant its own linguistic category.
Now that online communication is ubiquitous, much of what was once cyberspeak has simply become everyday speech.
