tb;do

Literally, "Too big; didn't open"

Said whenever a noob makes a post with an attached image that is too big to bother downloading to view in full size, specially on an image board like 4chan, instead of resizing it to a more practical size.

Usually implies that the person using it tried to open the image in full size but immediatly stopped the download after a couple of seconds of said image slowly appearing 90' style because it wasn't worth the wait (judgement made on the thumbnail) or as a protest against such an unrespectful behaviour.

When informed of his mistake, the noob will usually comment in a derogative tone on the internet connection of the protesters.

TB

An abridged term for "teenybopper". Whilst the outdated 𝘛𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘣𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 was originally a label for teenagers who typically follow fashion trends and popular music (i.e. almost every single teenager alive today, in the past and future) the more recent 𝘛𝘉, on the other hand, has grown to have negative connotations.

Ironically, 𝘛𝘉 was mostly used by older teens (teenyboppers) as an insult for anyone younger that they disliked for whatever trivial, or 𝗻𝗼 reason whatsoever; TBs calling others TB.
Similar to calling someone "extra".
