Comment on Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?

Back in the 90s when I lived in Amsterdam, I also saw svp (which is actually French) used often instead of aub. I never understood why though.
Also, ff wachten for example. ff is short for effe, or rather “even”. Just wanted to throw that one into the mix.

Yeah it’s odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.
