TL;DR = Too Long, Didn't Read.

TL;DW = Too Long, Didn't Watch.


It's usually used by millennials as a slight against those that post text or videos that are too long for their attention span.

Sometimes anything longer than a written paragraph, or longer than a 5 minute video will get that response. It is the consequence of Twitter and Snapchat or Vine, where they are used to 140-character and 30 second quickies.

Anything longer tends to result in "Ah man, I'm not going to read all that, or watch all that!"

If they say that after having said something negative about her then just let them know they don't know the real Hillary, just the carton creation of those who oppose her.
