ur
Stable🌍Universal#abbreviation#texting#evergreen
Definition
Shorthand for both 'your' and 'you're.' Context determines which one. Yes, it's grammatically chaotic. No, nobody who texts 'ur' cares about the your/you're distinction. It predates smartphones, going back to T9 texting and early internet chat rooms.
Translation for Parents
It means 'your' or 'you're,' whichever makes sense in context. If your kid writes 'ur weird,' they're calling you weird. If they write 'is that ur car,' they're asking about your car. Grammar left the chat a long time ago.
Examples

“ur so funny lol”

Brainrot:
“is that ur dog”

Safe to use
Ancient abbreviation that's somehow immortal. Using 'ur' in a text is fine. Using it in an email to your boss is a different conversation.
