An acronym used as shorthand in the Brightwater area within the Tasman region on Te Waipounamu in Aotearoa
New Zealand.
It stands for "Is the Brightwater Bridge open?".
This is a common question asked on
social media platforms that rhyme with Vex, Mistook and Lucked In.
It is usually asked with great consternation and anxiety by those worried that the flooding river or an avalanche has closed this vitally
important bridge on State Highway 6.
Trev:
Hey guys, ITBWBO or has it been shut due to the
avalanche risk?
Guy 1: My sis said she just drove over it 10 minutes ago, so it's not closed yet.
Guy 2: Idiot. The closest
snow slope is 90 km away.
