A question

What is TL;DR? For the life of me I cannot decipher this bit of acronymage.

It's present on the Urban Dictionary (my usual reference for that sort of stuff.)
1. teal deer
A bastardization of "tl;dr", which is a bastardization of "Too long ; Didn't read." Usually presented in the form of a photochopped (sic) image of a deer.

Just thought I'd mention this amazing site if you weren't familiar with it. ^^

I've not been to the Urban Dictionary, but now I'll know! It was your post and icon that really made me wonder, lol.

^^ I thought it might be, tbh.

The idea was that a PhD in the Humanities + Rudolf the reindeer = Too Long, Didn't Read

I'm a dork, what can I say. >.>
