Longest acronym covers all possible reactions

A NEW sixteen-thousand character acronym encapsulates all conceivable reactions to anything seen on the internet.

Beginning FFFLI and ending RGMY, its creators believe the acronym could save thousands of working hours currently lost responding to animal pictures or making sarcastic comments about Game of Thrones.

Wales-based acronym developers FYI formerly built military acronyms for NATO, but moved into the civilian market after technical staff stumbled across a way of merging LOL with FUBAR.

An FYI spokesman said: “This is the biggest advance in communication since people stopped using the keyboard wink-symbol as some sort of grammar thing.”
