BB1634 : T L ; D R ?

Th 6 Oct 16

Accordiing to the Daily Telegraph, there is a new entry in the Oxford English Dictionary's list of abbreviations:

T L ; D R

I had never heard of it but apparently in urban slang it means:

Too Long ; Didn't Read

Fortunately no-one has yet sent me that message regarding a BB report but it doesn't mean that they (or you) haven't thought it.  So, I will try and keep this one brief.
