DIRFT

DIRFT is an internet slang term that stands for “Didn’t read, flagged, and tagged.” It is used to express that the person did not read the entire content but still flagged or marked it for later reference or action. This term is commonly used in online discussions or forums when someone quickly acknowledges a post without thoroughly reading the entire text.

Examples:

Example 1:

• User1: Hey everyone, I found this interesting article discussing the impact of social media on mental health. Check it out! #ImportantRead
• User2: DIRFT, but I’ll save it for later. Thanks for sharing!

In this example, User2 acknowledges that they haven’t read the article entirely but flags it for later by using the term DIRFT.

Example 2:

• User1: I need some advice on buying a new laptop. Does anyone have recommendations?
• User2: DIRFT, but I’ll go through the comments and see if someone mentioned something helpful.

User2 admits that they haven’t fully read User1’s post regarding laptop recommendations. However, they still flag it as something they will revisit later to read the comments provided by other users.
