YTF

What does YTF stand for?

Why the f***

Whenever you see someone use YTF, it’s like they’re saying “why the f***.” It’s a bit like the more familiar slang WTF (what the f***), but with a Y replacing the W to stand for “why”.

Most of the time, people drop the YTF when they’re feeling pretty annoyed or frustrated. It’s like they’re questioning something they can’t understand or something that ticks them off.

If you’re on the receiving end of a YTF, you might want to answer their query. But remember, it might also be a good time to advise them to take a breather and chillax a bit.
