She can’t make it any more obvious.

syfm ---> shut your fucking mouth

It is tiktok trend so to speak, like younger genz older gen alpha, same as "this shit" or "this" being abbreviated as Ts
Back in my day, we just said sophisticated things like stfu and kys and fu and git gut and get pnwed noob and ez pez. But of course these young people have to make up weird abbreviations.

We did it because there were limits to text length and you didn't want to get charged for multiple texts. Also writing on keypads was a pain. I don't understand why anyone still does it today, especially people who were not texting back in those days.

It’s gotten far, far worse. There’s always been an online lingo like this from way back in chat groups or apps like AIM or IRC, but texting shorthand when we had phone keypads and limited texting was way more legible. We shortened the word count more than the letter count and autocomplete wasn’t a thing. Now the shorthand is completely unnecessary and has become more of a stylistic choice than a necessity. I don’t mind it, but when coupled with generational slang it can become indecipherable.

This is absolutely not the reason, because even back then when we started doing it, we did it on ICQ, MSN, etc. those chats didn't have length restrictions, and typing was easy on a keyboard.

Are we pluralizing "slang" wrong for a reason?
Yeah, it should be slangopodes.
