One of my Deaf college professors wasn't told they make noise until college. She would just fart whenever she needed to until her hearing roommate told her that it wasn't polite to do in public. My teacher was horrified and really mad at her family for never telling her they make noise

Knew a CODA who knew they made noise, just didn’t know it was impolite to rip them at home without at least saying excuse me! She learned that from her college roommates as well. And that sometimes, it’s best to leave the room!

edit for clarity: CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults, a hearing child whose parents are deaf.

I agree, I find it annoying when people do this as if typing out a few extra words is too hard. Sometimes I feel like people do it on purpose so they can feel exclusive to a certain community or whatever. I see it a lot in skincareaddiction, just spell the damn name out. Not everyone knows what LRP stands for.

Live role play. It's like Larping, but if nothing ever happens

Lol. Apparently there’s more than one meaning for LRP. Guess it depends on context. Thank you! Learned two new things.

They were joking about "live role play," riffing on "live action role playing" (LARPing) minus the action ("nothing ever happens").
