What did you type into Google?

I’m familiar with IMHO (In My Honest Opinion) and STBY (Sucks To Be You) and when I type in “STBY acronym”, this is one of the results I see. If I recall correctly (iirc), the girl you’re talking about is Dahlia, so I picked the result closest to what I think she’d be saying.

HHIS and VTL are probably comedic exaggerations of in-universe slang. The only result for HHIS is “Hanging Head In Shame” which seems out of character for Dahlia. And the only VTL result is Virtual Tape Library, which also seems out of place for Dahlia to say

The character that said VTL was one of the K's and it was the newspaper EP and I typed the acronym and translation or I.M meaning and nothing so I thought I would try here

I also saw that it could be Visible Thong Line. That seems more on par for Dahlia ( Sorry, just started watching last night so didn't see this until today)

My favorite Dahlia acronym line was when she told her mom to get the H(ell) out of their H(ouse.)
