TLDR

Also sometimes "TL,DR" or "TL;DR".

"Too long; didn't read."

1.) This is commonly used in Internet communities to respond to verbose postings which the respondent did not have the patience to fully digest.

2.) This is also occasionally used to designate a summary preceding or following a verbose post to which others may otherwise respond "TLDR".

TLDRian

A person who posts nothing but "TLDR" on everything within a forum. Usually referred to as a troll, but this is a more specialized case. TLDR is an acronym meaning "Too Long Didn't Read" and is used when you have no interest in reading a topic. Used to say basically that your thread, and you yourself certainly suck.

Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
