literally, “too long; didn’t read”

said whenever a nerd makes a post that is too long to bother reading.
“omg you postwench. i can only say one thing in response – tl;dr”
“tl;dr…why dont you give up on your unabridged edition of war and peace or at least stop posting it here?”
too long ; didn’t read.

any over wordy thread or long drawn out story that people don’t want to really read, but reply to anyway.

also a form of trolling or humorous reply telling some one to get to the point.
too long; didn’t read

literally translates to: that was too long to read.
really translates to: i’m too lazy to read the entirety of what you said, but i still want to say something.

now, instead of just dropping capitals the modern internet communicator also drops tiresome reading! the time savings will be incredible.
person a: hi, do you know anything about where jamie and brad are?
person b: tl;dr
person a: uh… how should i have said that?
person b: do u no where jamie n brad r
person a: agh… it burns!
“too long; didn’t read.”
1. the inability to accept, understand or pay attention to information when not separated by a header.
2. the ability to arbitrarily read 400 small posts but not a long one.
3. a sign of add or lack of reading capability.
4. a very cheap response and an indication of lack of wit.
5. 90% of the time: a lie.
6. a desperate attempt at a comeback used by people who just can’t think of one.
7. usually used by people who’ve been torn apart verbally but want one last attempt at looking witty.
8. total failure at #7.
7. a sign that, not only is someone too lazy and stupid to read but, clearly, too lazy and stupid to even type out four words indicating such.
9. collect every “tl,dr” post online, and you’ll have a good estimate of the number of lazy idiots on earth, who currently have internet access.
10. should really be:
“too lazy, don’t read.”
or,
“…..i got nut’n!”
~ me:
…..therefore you suck fabulous donkey sh-t c-ck.
~ “smart troll” not used to being beaten:
-yawn- tl;dr
~ me:
…right, well, as believable as that is, you’ve got time. just sound the bigger words out. now i can see why your friends say you’re so “smart”.
tl;dr : too long, didn’t read.
“did you read the fourth definition, it was quite witty!”
“no tl;dr”
“too long; didn’t read” – a shining example of the sweeping attention deficit disorder pandemic that seems to have embraced our society. usually said by people who a) have never read a book, b) have no logical retort, c) want an easy laugh, or any combination of the three. not to be confused with “tms;du”, meaning “too many syllables; don’t understand”, which is likely how some of you reading this feel about this definition.
spanky – “i find it hilarious that any definition of tl;dr condeming those who use it as uneducated morons, are the ones receiving more thumbs down – just like this one probably will – even though they are the most accurate. that just further proves that people – especially kids – have a consistantly dwindling attention span, most likely indirectly proportional to the amount of media and entertainment devices we feel the need to constantly plug ourselves into.”
sp-nky – “… tl;dr”
spanky – “are you sure it wasn’t tms;du?”
sp-nky – “… l0zz0rs, pwned.”
a) “too long; didn’t read.”, meaning a post, article, or anything with words was too long, and whoever used the phrase didn’t read it for that reason.

b) also used by someone who wrote a large posts/article/whatever to show a brief summary of their post as it might be too long.
a)
guy one: did you read that book for english cl-ss?

guy two: no, tl;dr.

b)
guy one: cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually b-tter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes subst-tuted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. cake is often frosted with b-ttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.1

cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. there are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some rich and elaborate) and many are centuries old. cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.

tl;dr: cake is a baked, yummy sweet.
