An Academic Look at G2R
G2R is classified by our team as an "internet slang term" as opposed to an initialism abbreviation or an acronym. Initially, "slang terms" were introduced for brevity, but, particularly with the advent of predictive texting and on-screen keyboards, they are now mostly employed for fun. "Slang terms" differ from icons because they are not pictorial representations. Although the phrase "Got To Run" can be taken literally, it is most often used figuratively; i.e., as an imaginative way of indicating that you are in a hurry.What Did We Say before Texting and Social Media?
