The internet is a weird, weird place. It basically has its own language, and if you don’t know the lingo, prepare to be mercilessly shamed for it. Everyone has their own favorite websites when they surf the web, so what are yours? Do you tend to stick to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Or are you more into websites that share hilarious videos and trending articles, like Bored Panda, Buzzfeed, and 22 Words? Do you spend a lot of time finding perfects pins on Pinterest? Or are you mostly just using the web for work and to check your emails? And how often do you choose to start arguments on sites like Reddit?
This quiz will test your knowledge of internet slang. Are you L33T enough to ace it? Or will you totally bomb it and never be able to show your face (or, rather, username) online again? Let’s get started!
