Explanations and examples of the afore given tone tags

used after saying something in a joking manner
example: "I am the president of twitter /j"

used after saying something that is kind of a joke but kind of serious
example: "well I am usually right /hj"
/s or /sarc = sarcastic / sarcasm
"sarcasm refers to the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say"
example: "I really love feeling sad /sarc"
/srs = serious
used when saying something you really mean
example: "I really appreciate you /srs"
/lh = lighthearted
used when saying something "free from care, or seriousness"
example: "hey leave me out of this mess /lh"
/ij = inside joke
"a joke that is shared exclusively by a small group of people"
example: "you going to go swimming in pencils anytime soon? /ij"
/t = teasing
"intended to provoke or make fun of someone in a playful way"
example: "ok sure mr 'idk what I'm doing' /t"
/nm = not mad
used to indicate you are not actually mad or upset about something
example: "ouch I really related there /nm"
/nbh = nobody here
used when tweeting something vague to assure people it is not indirectly at them

/g or /gen = genuine / genuine question
used when saying or asking something for real

/th = threat
"an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage"
example: "if you don't stop I will block you /th"
I wouldn't recommend threatening anyone ever but I'm including this tag anyway because I want people to be aware of the tags
/cb = clickbait
"(on the internet) content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page"
example: "look at this unbelievable life changing tiny house /cb"
/f = fake

example: "look at this unicorn /f"
/q = quote
used when quoting something or someone
example: "oh yes the past can hurt but the way I see it you can either run from it or you can learn from it /q"
I would recommend just putting quotes in quotation marks and saying who said it afterwards but that's just me
/l or /ly = lyrics
used when quoting specifically song lyrics
example: "I say the wrong shit at the right times /ly"
again I recommend putting the lyric in quotation marks and then saying what song it is afterward but still that's just my preference
/c = copypasta
"a block of text which is copied and pasted across the internet"
example: "[idols name] do your shoes need shining? [idols name] [idols name] please Do you need coffee? Come back PLEASE Dont go away from me [idols name] please"
/m = metaphor / metaphorically
"a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance"
example: "he is a shining star /m" - he is not actually a star. he is being compared to one.
/li = literal / literally
"following the words of the original very closely and exactly"
example: "grass is green /li"
/rt or /rh = rhetorical question
"a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer"
example: "can fish swim /rt" or "who cares? /rh"
/hyp = hyperbole
"exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally"
example: "I have a million things to do today /hyp" - I do not actually have to do one million things today. I was just meaning I have a lot of things to do today.
