@Ann_Effes @Gargron "This tbh" 🥳 It means you are superly agreeing with something Okay, got the meaning, but what does "tbh" stands for literally then - I mean: "truth be hold", "tenfold bigger honesty" or "thats bexactly hright"... (LOL) @Ann_Effes The literal meaning of "tbh" in "this tbh" is still "to be honest," but this usage is meant to emphasize agreement. @Ann_Effes @amateur_ninja Every time someone says "to be honest," I cringe and really hope I haven't been told all lies up to this very moment, when truth-telling became necessary to somehow being emphasized.😉 @DaWoDerPfeffer @Ann_Effes Okay, so language is totally one of my hobbies and little things like this get me excited. I think it's a good phrase overall, but today's usage is those Internet things I don't fully get either. In day to day usage, it's handy to emphasize the sincerity of a statement or to soften a negative one. But sometimes it's also just filler and the person's not even aware they're saying it. Add personal style, culture, context, etc. and it can get awkward though. |

Lost in jargon:
tbh?
(normaly "to be honest" - does not seem to make an awful lot of sense here... so what does it mean?)
