        Et cetera is latin and “etc” is commonly used in English and quite a few other languages as well.

      smh = iwie (irgendwie)

      How r u = wg (wie geht’s)

      somebody = jmd (jemand)

      Shut up = hdf (Halt die Fresse)

      probs = wsl (wahrscheinlich)

      idk = kp (kein Plan)

      kp could also be “kein Problem” (no problem) which is why I personally prefer idk / np over kp / kp
