New shortcut buttons in chat window

Thank you, lichess, for providing the new buttons in the chat window that give us shortcuts to send messages after games! There are now: gg=good game, wp= well played, ty=thank you, as well as bye=bye, gtg=got to go.

May I humbly suggest these additional buttons might help:

tge=thanks for going easy on me
hp=horribly played
dnr=i just destroyed you, why would i want an rematch?
nrd=you just destroyed me, why would i want a rematch?
woc=what was that opening called?
yan=are you a noob?
ibs=its blitz(bullet)...why are you moving so slowly?
we=what engine do you use?

"onpgmmqb" — would be cool also. It means "O, no, please give me my queen back!".

But these are all jokes.

My suggestion is to add dots and exclamation marks:
"Good game!", "Well played.", "Thank you!" "Got to go."
I think it looks more aesthetically with dots.
And also would be nice to let to use three buttons instead of two, when you need to say at once (now you need still to write "bye!"):
Good game.
Got to go.
Bye!
#1 @OFantasma,

Setting aside the fact that not everyone actually knows English, your suggestions aren't even standard/universal initialisms. With the exception of the borderline "woc", the rest are blatant snide remarks that can be interpreted as insults (which is the opposite of the good-natured mentality behind the existing shortcuts). It would be an interesting social experiment if your dissing macros get implemented with a feature that automatically tempbans people who use them.
