Stands for "too long; didn't read".
Along with the above-mentioned use of tl;dr by lazy jerks and trolls, the use of this term is a great way to cut down long-winded, nonsensical arguments made by insane conspiracy theorists who are probably wearing tin-foil hats while typing them. Johnny: There's no way the moon landing happened in real life! For one thing, the shadows of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in photographs are pointing at different angles. The pictures could only have been taken in a studio! And there aren't any stars in the lunar sky in the pictures, either. How could they have ... (etc.)

Too long, didn't read (tl;dr) spam. An online posting which looks like a long, informative article, but is often filled with word salad, and contains links to an online store.

Short for "Too Long; Didn't Read" Originally intended for when someone makes a point in an arguement/discussion and the intended target of the point cannot be bothered to read the lengthy comment. However, it has been overused and brutally raped of it's meaning due to people being incapable of responding with an intellectual/witty remark. Now most commonly means "Your arguement is so sound and accurate that I can find no flaw to point out. However I do not wish to look like an uneducated fool, and so I shall instead respond as if you are the ignorant one for posting an in depth comment of such length that it would imply too much effort to read." Ironically, a large number of people would be likely to comment TL;DR to this definition if given the opportunity, thereby showing that they fall into the category of people to whom this applies Original intended use:
An individual, most likely a "nerd", posts a comment of excessive length on a subject, unnecessarily expanding on points rather than getting to the point, thereby deserving of the response TL;DR Recent most common usage: A point is made in which the commenter backs up their claims with facts and evidence, only to receive the response TL;DR |

"Too long; Must read" re-appropriation of tl;dr which means too long, didn't read. Created to revolutionize the culture of tl;dr. Created to reinvigorate the importance of 'pursuing knowledge', so that we can make a stand against those who would seek to exploit our lack, of it. "I clicked. I saw long post. tl;dr"
becomes... "I clicked. I saw long post. tl;mr" |
