"Too Long; Didn't Read" - a shining example of the sweeping Attention Deficit Disorder pandemic that seems to have embraced our society. Usually said by people who a) have never read a book, b) have no logical retort, c) want an easy laugh, or any combination of the three. Not to be confused with "TMS;DU", meaning "Too Many Syllables; Don't Understand", which is likely how some of you reading this feel about this definition.
Spanky - "I find it hilarious that any definition of TL;DR condeming those who use it as uneducated morons, are the ones receiving more thumbs down - just like this one probably will - even though they are the most accurate. That just further proves that people - especially kids - have a consistantly dwindling attention span, most likely indirectly proportional to the amount of media and entertainment devices we feel the need to constantly plug ourselves into."
Spunky - "... TL;DR"
Spanky - "Are you sure it wasn't TMS;DU?"
Spunky - "... l0zz0rs, pwned."

TL:DGAS stands for Too Long; Didn't Give A Shit and is a comedic play on TL;DR. Contrary to TL;DR it is not limited to reading and can be applied to other activities such as movies, videogames and homework.
The term was first coined by NakedJakey in is video "Rockstar's Game Design is Outdated" uploaded on YouTube on the 17th of December 2018.

Nerdy girl: Did you read that book for english class?
Hot guy: TL;DGAS, I was busy inflating my ego and I don't care about school.
Nerdy girl (mind): He's so brave...

This is an alternative way to understand tl;dr
So usually it's a response to a long-winded written explanation that someone posts online. But it can also be used as a brief summary of something at the top of a post for readers who don't have time to go through the whole thing
For example: My trip to Europe
tl;dr - I went to Europe, I ate cheese, danced with beautiful woman, hooked up with a man and had a unexpected boat trip.
Full post
On 21 January I got the itch to travel, so I spontaneously booked a trip to Europe... insert rest of post

1) the phrase lazy trolls use when they have nothing to say in response
2) a phrase used when a post REALLY IS long, pointless, and repetitive, and should barely be read... but most of the time people do anyway
3) a lie

Too long; Didnt Read.
In addition to being used by lazy forum readers, tl;dr can be used by forum posters to give a brief version of their long-winded post!
