The four letters that gets an investigative journalist responding with gfym or grym as the response isn't exactly safe work work, it also pisses off short story writers who write in the same range as The Tell-Tale Heart or the mid-range of 4000-6800 words. It's the response that we ask if you read "The Frog And Toad Together" in the park in your 40s. The grym response was done by The Cabbie Homicide writer on VampireFreaks.

TL;DR

TL;DR

Usually used in reddit stories, the term TL;DR (Too Long, didn't read) is used at the end of a long story to briefly summarize what the story was about for those not willing to read the whole long story.

Person 1 - "Dude did you check out the reddit posts I asked you to read?"
Person 2- "Sorry dude, I had no time to go through long life stories, I could only read the TL;DRs, they were amazing btw"
