shortcutism

taking something from other people and not giving them credit, specially knowledge

Abir: What is this 'shortcutism'?
Adnan: I take credit from you and claim the word as my own....a fitting example of shortcutism.

The Forbidden Shortcut

If you press the power button, escape and refresh on a school Chromebook you can erase ALL of your data. It's a inside joke between me and my friends.

I dare you to press the forbidden shortcut

Take the Shortcut

To walk in circles around your highschool to avoid going to class.

Cora: Oh shit, I've got Mrs. Crandall's class next and she's a total bitch.
Oliver: Let's take the shortcut.

phonetic shortcut

Da "lazy man's way" of pronouncing two or more words in a common phrase --- the individual words get corruptedly/messily "run together", rather than being spoken clearly and "separately", the way a "proper" person would say them.

Classic examples of a phonetic shortcut would be "wanna" (want to), "ustuh" (used to), "shouldah" (should have), and "didja" (did you). Disgusting how da young people talk these days!
