Texting & Internet Slang · Texting and Chat Abbreviations
Shortcut for "please" in requests, from casual reminders to pleading. One of the most common abbreviations in texts, often doubled for urgency ("pls pls pls").
Example: Pls bring a jacket, it's going to be cold tonight.
Variants include "plz" and "pleeease." It can sound urgent or exasperated depending on tone and punctuation. Fine in casual work chat, but a request to a client or manager reads better with the full word.
