Angsty Frogs

Born For Dis.

Whenever you come upon an acronym or abbreviation, and that acronym or abbreviation is not defined in any way within the surrounding text, you have my complete and utter permission to invent the meaning. So, if you come upon a BFD, wild and untamed, feel free to start taming it and give it a pet name of your choosing. Born For Dis makes a lot of sense to me…

This is the disclaimer part. You might think I would get in so much trouble for telling you to do this next part, but you’d be wrong, because I actually have zero authority here. If I tell you to write in any book you come across with an undefined acronym, it carries no authoritative weight. You write what you want where you want because your will is your own. But it would be so funny if you were reading some mind-slaughtering textbook and you came across an acronym for an equally mind-slaughtering concept such as FIRFA, the Radar Frequency Act of 2049, and you wrote in the margins “Federally Insured Rabbit Fluffers of America”.

All the underrated Rabbit Fluffers of the world will appreciate you.

You could get even wilder than that, if your creativity demands it.

The same creativity could guide you to insert an Angsty Frog, every time you see someone add an AF to their text messages.

Maybe your friend sends, “I’m tired AF.”

Then you send back, “You’re a tired Angsty Frog?”

Then they send back, “SMH.”

“So Much Hummus? Send More Haggis? Are you hungry or something?”

Then they don’t send anything…for a long time. Don’t worry, he or she is still your friend. Even though you are “Sure To Feel Underrated” and that’s not at all what everyone meant when they sent you STFU, do realize you will always have friends in the Rabbit Fluffer crowd.

The latest update is that I've written seven novels, twenty screenplays, four self-help books, and one children's early reader, but only published half of them. So the question is: how can we speed up the literary machine?
