What is the meaning of WFH?

On a side note, Im recommending, that even after the lockdown ends, we must have some new abbreviations

And so, I've been WFH for 120 days. WFH, uhm… that's an abbreviation/acronym for 'working from home'. Millennials justify 'working from home' being whittled down to WFH because it takes a lot of effort to say, 'working from home'. So, in the #PreCOVID days, it was decided it was way cooler to have short forms for even shorter words. Example, 'whateves' is an abridgement for 'whatever', and OMG for 'Oh my God', and WTF for, you know what.
I mean, look, by the time you finish uttering, 'Coronavirus', you're out of breath. All of us aren't Shri Tharoor, right? I do feel all diseases should have tight names—flu (no one says influenza), cold, fever, TB (tuberculosis is too long)—I mean life is tough enough having to sweep-swab, dust, put on a PPE, wear a mask, and then to have to say 'Coronavirus', is exhausting. I do think even COVID needs an abbreviation! 'Virus' is too general, I feel—considering both Ebola and SARS are viruses. So, I'm thinking 'CV' is perfect. I mean, think about it. Considering CV is so impactful, just like BC (before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini), we need an abbreviation like 'CV' so we can say 2022 CV, after we discover a vaccine and life goes back to the new normal.
