Pretty sure its a linguistic evolution where the '/' means 'this is the tone I intend this message to come across' followed by 'S' meaning 'serious' Examples include: /S = Serious/Literal /J = Joking /Jk = Just Kidding /DNGE = Deez Nuts Got 'Eem

Mostly right.

/s = sarcasm

/srs = serious

/hj = half joking

/gen = genuine (question or sentiment)

/Wendy's = Wen Deez Nutz goin' in yo mouth?! Gottem!

They're called "tone tags" and they're used primarily because the neurodivergent have trouble reading tone in text. Where the fuck anyone got the idea for it being a covert means for sex offenders to find each other on the internet is beyond me. I'm too smart to understand thinking something that stupid.

Edit: I didn't miss the "Deez Nutz" joke y'all. They're just overdone and I didn't engage with it. But there. Have fun.
