20 Instagram Slangs for Your Cool Quotient
CSL — Can’t Stop Laughing
This internet slang is just another version of ROFL, LOL and the likes of them. Saw a prank video? Leave a CSL comment on it.
AMA — Ask Me Anything
If you came across a post like, “I am bored, AMA”, freely torture the person with your question about them or anything for that matter as AMA means the person is ready to answer any questions. This Instagram and internet slang is used to start conversations and get the comments for a post.
TBT — Throwback Thursday
It is one of the famous Instagram slangs. It is used when someone posts a photograph on Thursday reminiscing the moments in the past.

Foodporn
As a rule, foodporn is a hashtag that is placed under photos of delicious food. If you haven’t read any article about this kind of porn Bon Appétit, Baby: Food Porn On Instagram, you should do that!
Goals
This is an ideal example, a standard, an example of what everyone wants.
This word is placed under the pictures of what you want to achieve, what you visually really like. It is used mainly by Insta-girls talking about relations and friendship: such as “friendship goals,” “relationship goals,” etc.

HIFW — How I Felt When
When you’re unsure about how to express , put up a relatable Instagram video, photo, or a gif and use the meme slang – HIFW in the caption and people will get your message.
TIL — Today I Learned
Nope, it’s not a reference to Til Schweiger. When you want to share with your followers some new information you discovered and that impressed you so much, just start your post with TIL or use it as a hashtag!
MIRL — Me In Real Life
Do you love laughing at yourself? Find a meme describing you in the best way possible and add the meme slang MIRL. People will appreciate your sense of humor. Or you can simply add it while posting a photo of you as you are without any photoshop and people will know that’s an authentic photo.
MFW — My Face When
That’s also a meme-slang— an additional method of having fun on Instagram.
FTFY — Fixed That For You
If this dude wrote something with a mistake, grammatical, or logical one, let him or her know that and don’t forget to add FTFY at the end.
MCM — Man Crush Monday
Monday is the day when everyone shares photos of their favorite men, usually celebrities.
OH and RLRT — overheard and Real-Life Retweet
Such ‘retweets’ from life came from Twitter. They are used when users refer to a story they heard in real life like gossips, controversies, etc. Usually, this is something strange, shocking or funny from overheard conversations.
POTD — Picture Of The Day
Instagram users put the internet slang #POTD under the photo that they think is the most successful of the day. Well, or just under the one that reflects their mood today.
OOTD — Outfit of the Day
Like POTD, OFTD is a trending millennial slang. Users use this slang on Instagram to share the outfit their are wearing for the day.
YOLO — You Only Live Once
It is used all over the Internet, so people have got tired of it. The motto of the slang is to encourage people to take risky actions like adventure, achieving dreams, etc. So, they never miss the interesting moments of their lives.
ELI5 — Explain Like I’m 5
To express your extreme ignorance of the topic use ELI5. Eg., I know nothing about the auto follow, auto like, auto comment and auto DM features of InstaCaptain, ELI5! That’s a great millennial slang to engage your followers in the conversation:)
