How well do you know your texting slang?
AYR is an acronym meant to quickly reference shared context or previously mentioned information in messages, emails, chats, or notes. It's a polite, efficient way to jog someone's memory without rehashing details, often implying, "we've already covered this" in a friendly, professional tone, especially constructive during frustrating arguments.
You will see AYR among professionals, students, and project teams in office emails, Slack messages, and collaborative docs, especially when time and character space are tight and everyone's expected to be on the same page. However, people may also use it on social media when discussing a topic where they need to reference a previous instance or fact.
