TBF

To be fair

When you see ‘TBF’ in a text, it stands for “to be fair”. It’s a phrase often used to start a statement when you want to give a different point of view to what’s being talked about.

Picture this: you’re texting your brother about how tough your parents are being. He replies, “TBF, we were really annoying.” He’s using TBF to introduce his different perspective, saying that even though your parents are tough, you were also quite troublesome.

Another example could be using ‘TBF’ in an online discussion or on a social media post. Let’s say there’s a debate about trading with a certain country. You might say, “TBF, if we cut off trade, our own economy could take a hit.” Here, you’re using TBF to present a counter-argument to the main discussion.

So, next time you see ‘TBF’ in a text or online, remember it’s someone’s way of saying “to be fair” and presenting a different side of the story.
