I plead guilty but the statute of limitations has doubtless run.

Two expressions which we used relentlessly while I was an undergraduate illustrate the propensity to contract entire sentences:

When wondering if a chum had dined, the form of inquiry was "jeet-jet?" which contracted the entire sentence "Did you eat yet?"

If the response was in the negative, it was followed by the invitation "Squeet" which contracted the whole sentence "Let us go eat."

I feel so guilty.
