The meaning of the acronym CTB

[Sha70]

Just curious ... do most people who are not depressed and/or suicidal know what CTB means? I didn't know until I joined this forum a few years ago.

 

[RealHumanBean]

It's a colloquial abbreviation. I have not seen it used anywhere outside this forum.

 

[lofticries]

Yeah, I didn't know what it meant until I joined here as well. I've honestly never been to a site like this before.

Agree

OP just means Original Poster, as in the person who started the thread.

I think the word CTB has existed since the alt.suicide.method era.
I know the meaning of it thanks to the subreddit SanctionedSuicide.

 

[Life_and_Death]

It's mostly used here. And has its own meaning here that means the same thing.

Of course what I can infer from googling it, I think it's also used in hospitals and stuff

I read the word CTB out of this site on a suicidal post and I was like: Oh, that guy must know SS
