IBTL - a plea to the powers that be

j00ni · 30 Jan 2007 at 09:22

Can we please extend the rules to add the phrase IBTL to the list of banned phrases, along with WTLW etc. It seems to have proliferated of late, and serves no purpose other than as a PC+1 tool :mad:

If people think a thread should be locked, report it to the mods, why make a totally useless post?

Haha sooo tempting

Combat squirrel · 30 Jan 2007 at 09:26

yet more phrases I have no idea of, IBTL ? whaaa? :eek:

IBTL = ?

In Before The Lock

as no one else had answered. Its generally posted when you know a thread is going to get deleted - and means you've "beaten" the mods to it. it's a bit lame tbh.

(in future you can just google search for "define: <phrase here>" although in this case it doesn't find it

)

According to urban dictionary:

WTLW -

welcome to last week. a term used by lame intenret geeks on the overclockers forums

This forum seems so "clicky" at times and things get overused to death. Take the loaf of bread thing for instance, thats getting ridiculous as well. Gets so boring seeing the same people posting the same things over and over again. Who are they trying to impress?

Edit: TTIUWP is another whenever a female is mentioned. Booooooring, go outside and there are real women!

TTIUWP

*can I get away with using this in this thread?? Yeah... I rekon I can

Someone in motors posted a picture of a car which someone doubted so asked them to post a picture with a loaf of bread on the bonnet.

If it's what I think it is, somebody in the Motoring forum asked another member to post pictures of their car with a loaf of bread on the engine to prove the car really was theirs.

That's what jealous members of OcUK can do.
