　　A

　　(2016·厦门市高中毕业班质量检查) These days, young people in some English­speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.

　　Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post：“David Bowie dying is totes tradge” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence：“BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”

　　What on earth do they mean? Well,

　　“totes”

　　is a short form of

　　“totally”.

　　Similarly, “tradge” means

　　“tragic”

　　and

　　“emosh”

　　means

　　“emotional”. It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代),

　　typing in this form is not only time­saving but fashionable.

　　As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by so­called

　　“totesing” — the systematic abbreviation (缩写 ) of words. The trend might have started with

　　“totally”

　　becoming “totes”， but it now has spread to many other English words.

　　The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than

　　“totesing”.
