What does ETA stand for in this context?

Edited To Add. The constant barrage of TLAs is exhausting.

There are also Extended Three-Letter Acronyms, because e.g. Four-Letter Acronym would be a TLA.

It’s weird when Reddit started shifting from ETA: “everyone’s the asshole” to exited to add.

Idk I guess it’s the kids and their new dang language and hippity hop music

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Huh. I used reddit for about 12 years before switching to Lemmy last year and I don't think I ever noticed ETA. Maybe just different subs used it.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

That was only in the "am I the asshole" sub which was a trash fire you were wise to avoid.

FWIW IIRC “ETA” actually= “ESH”, Everyone Sucks Here
