Texter's [!!!]
Answer:
OMG
Hint:
This three-letter acronym is often used to express shock or excitement in casual online conversations, like when someone shares surprising news.
Explanation:
This clue plays on how texters express shock or excitement. The "[!!!]" mimics the exaggerated punctuation people use in messages to show strong emotion, which often gets shortened to "OMG" (Oh My God). It’s a common texting shorthand, so the clue hints at the answer by replicating that over-the-top reaction style.
