"TBT" (When it isn't Thursday)


"TBT" (When it isn't Thursday)


Definition: It's like the "Throwback Thursday" that is common vernacular for the rest of the Instagram-using world, except teens are edgy and use it on other days of the week. Throwback Thursday on a Monday? Now that is some hardcore stuff.


Used in a sentence: "TBT to dat time we were listening to Drake and drinking vodka from a water bottle in your parents' basement!"
