I'm very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

[–] mysteryname101@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago (2 children)

ITT. In this thread.

Bawww in this context means “cry”

[–] davemeech@lemmy.ca 20 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I'm old.

What does old mean to you? Maybe you're just not terminally online 😅

.... ITT has been used since early 00s AFAIK (2003 urban dictionary https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ITT). It's possible that it was used before that I just couldn't find any "proof" and can't remember it personally.

The bawwww I just got contextually. Plus sounded out it kinda sounds like someone bawling their eyes out. QQ

Upvoting in solidarity.

Same. I always immediately think of the Fela Kuti track!

I thought ITT was in reference to that technical community college I used to see ads for on tv
