/ly

An online tone indicator/tone tag created mainly to help neurodivergent people, but also to avoid confusion in general. Stands for "lyrics", and can be used after you quote lyrics in a song so that people who don't realize you're quoting a song don't get confused and think you're talking normally and get concerned or confused. It's more useful than you'd think, especially with tweets, online statuses, bios, Instagram captions, etc.
Also known as /l or /lyrics.

Without the tone indicator:
"Two trucks having sex."
"Dude, what the fuck?"
"Oh, sorry- Two trucks having sex. /ly"
"Still weird, but at least I know it's from a song and isn't just you saying weird shit."
