(Joey is using her laptop at a café when Hope brings her some coffee.)

Hope:

Hey, Joey. Nice to see you here. How’s your day going?

Joey:

Oh, hi, Hope. Not bad, I guess…

Hope:

Here’s a coffee for you.

Joey:

Thanks a lot. Hope, I am annoyed.

Hope:

Annoyed? Why?

Joey:

You see… I am trying to decode this email from Michael.

Hope:

Decode?

Joey:

Yes. Decode! 破解密碼!

Hope:

Why? Is it Morse Code?

Joey:

摩斯密碼? No, even worse! There are just too many acronyms, slang, and confusing stuff in this email!

(Gee!) 簡單的說，就是Michael在刁難我! It’s too confusing like…like…what?

Hope:

Puzzle?

Joey:

Yes, it is too confusing like a puzzle! See, I am not even halfway through, and my brain is already fried! 當機了!

Hope:

Hey, Joey, chill out! Maybe I can help.

Joey:

That would be great! Look, here: Michael wrote, About your last email, TL;DR. What does he mean?

Hope:

TL;DR stands for “Too Long: Didn’t Read.”

Joey:

TL;DR? What? He didn’t read it? Is he trying to annoy me?! Ugh! I think he is so narrow-minded.

他一定是在報上次的一箭之仇! Then, what’s this IYKYK? He says, “The deadline is next Monday, IYKYK.”

Hope:

It means “If you know, you know!” IYKYK! It’s a secret between you and him.

Joey:

Oh, Michael! He is putting the monkey on my back! 存心給我找麻煩!

Hope:

You can say that again.

Joey:

And what’s this about, diss? He wrote, “I feel like your project is completely dissing me.”

Hope:

Diss is short for disrespect. It means to be rude or insulting to someone.

Joey:

So, he means that I am trying to disrespect him? 就是我在嗆他囉?!

Hope:

Yup.

Joey:

No, 是他讓我FOMO好嗎?  Unbelievable! I was hoping to go hiking this weekend. And now I have to work overtime on that project!

Hope:

Yes. FOMO, F-O-M-O, Fear Of Missing Out! Now, you have major FOMO. It’s Friday today, and you have to decode this email.

Joey:

真的! By the way, what’s NGL? He says, “I think this project is a test, NGL.”

Hope:

NGL, Not Gonna Lie. It’s similar to TBH, To Be Honest.

Joey:

So, he means the project is a test for me?!

Hope:

LOL, I guess so. I really IDK why he is doing this to you.

Joey:

IDK?

Hope:

Yes, IDK, I don’t know.

Joey:

You are right. IDK why he can be so annoying!

Hope:

Perhaps you can reply by saying something like “BTW, about your email, TBH, TMI. So, I’ll BRB to answer.

And I’ll TTYL. P.S. IYKYK and YOLO!

Joey:

You mean: By the way, about your email, to be honest, too much information.

So, I’ll be right back to answer. And I’ll talk to you later. P.S. If you know, you know and You only live once!

Hope:

Exactly.

Joey:

Hey, Good idea!

Hope:

I think this mail will definitely make him cringe.

Joey:

Cringe? 感到難為情? 對呀! 簡單的事情被複雜化。
