An acronym for either "Obvious Tastelessness" or "Old but Tasteless" from the old USENET newsgroup Alt.Tasteless used to include tasteless afterthoughts in tasteless posts to provide for additional tastelessness. Used similarly to postscript (P.S.) in personal letters.

Anywho:

There goes the government, artificially increasing supply to keep
prices down.

Short form for One Bomb Tom. You call somebody this when people in video games lose a round on purpose to lengthen the game while everyone else wants to end it.
Guy 1: Don't defuse the bomb, I want this game to keep going.
Guy 2: Okay OBT

Among tarantula keepers, OBT stands for Orange Bitey Thing. The scientific name for the notorious OBT is P. Muirinus and they are known for their bright, attractive and varied color morphs, their voracious appetites and for being perhaps the most defensive (not to be confused with prey aggression, which is considered a desired trait for a T to have) tarantula on the market. When the biggest, baddest new world species like the Goliath bird eater just aren’t doing it for you anymore a veteran T keeper might look to the African and southeast Asian species, collectively known as old world Ts. Old world Ts lack venomous hairs to kick at you but have much stronger venom and much nastier temperaments. OBTs are the final art of a T keeper and if you can work with an OBT, there is no spider you can’t work with. Ts have their own personalities just like people and other pets but for a P. Muirinus specimen anything other than being a hyper-defensive, extremely skittish psychopath is an exceptionally well-behaved one.
Guest: “That tarantula is really pretty. Can I hold her?”
T Owner: “You do NOT want to hold that one.”
Guest: “Why not?”
T Owner: “It’s an OBT. Even I wouldn’t dare hold her.”
