What Does SLF Mean in a Text?

  • Great! SLF.

An Academic Look at SLF

As it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., "Ess Ell Eff"), SLF is classified as an initialism abbreviation. Initialisms are different to acronyms, which are spoken like words.

SLF is typically used as a standalone declarative sentence (i.e., a statement), meaning "(That) Sounds Like Fun." It is not always used as another part of speech within a wider sentence.

What Did We Say before Texting and Social Media?
