An abbreviation for the phrase, âskip to relevance,â used in conversation as a blunt request for one to get to their point. A method of asking someone to âwrap it up,â without making it obvious you donât care.
STR originated from various internet based forums, chats, and online games where the predominant method of communication between players/participants is text, arising as a result of many self-important and drama obsessed peopleâs habit with almost fanatically explaining even the most mundane detail of a mundane experience to make it seem extraordinary.
STR is also used verbally, pronounced âSTiRâ with a softer enunciation of the transitory âIâ sound. The phrase has been commonly adopted by retail workers dealing with technical, electronic, or entertainment media, and often used in customer support situations. It is typically employed when a customer begins detailing their life-story up until the particular issue, including when they bought it, why they bought it, their opinion of it, thoughts on the âjust out of the packageâ smell, as well their commentary as to their current emotional state, and âhow their day is goingâ before ever explaining what exactly went wrong with a product, or why/how they managed to loose/throw out a receipt given to them mere hours earlier. STR is often used as a verb in situations such as this.
â⦠and I bought this for my son, though I donât understand why he wants it, but I figuredâ¦â

âAnd so yeah, so we were getting all hot and heavy in the back seat, so we decided to go back to her place, but on the way we stopped off at mall to buy some.â
âSTR that crap! Get to the good part!â
