TBCL

What does TBCL stand for?

To be continued later

When someone uses the term TBCL, they mean “to be continued later”. It’s a simple way of saying that a conversation or topic needs to be paused, but will be picked up again at a later time. This slang is commonly used when the person needs to stop talking for a bit, but plans to get back to the discussion soon.

Imagine you’re in a chat with your manager, and they have to leave for another appointment. They might send you a message like, “Got to go, but this chat is TBCL.” This is their way of letting you know they’ll touch base with you later to continue the conversation.

So, whenever you see TBCL in a conversation, don’t worry! It’s not the end of the discussion. It’s just a short break, and you’ll pick up right where you left off when the time is right.
