Picture, if you will, two people having a casual conversation:
“Have you heard of EG?”
“e.g.? … like the latin acronym for ‘exempli gratia,’ meaning ‘for example?’”
“Dude, what? No … I’m talking about Erika Glass.”
“Oh, you meant like that EG!”
Other acceptable usage cases:
“I like that EG!”
“Like this or like that, EG?”
“I like that! e.g. …”
I reserve the right to use e.g. and ‘for example’ interchangeably. Additionally, I will be exploiting any pun opportunities should they arise. tysm <3
