How do you pronounce "TBT"?

[Aniko]

The French way té-bé-té

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

Usually I say tee-bee-tee but I also sometimes say the French pronounciation, té-bé-té! (Probably because I'm from Quebec, aka Canada's primary French-speaking province. Either way, I think it sounds really nice.)

...Now I'm really tempted to say tuh-buh-tuh.

 

[StarlitGlitch]

Tee bee Tee, like how I say Aye See See for ACC!

 

[Mutti]

I never really have the reason to say it in person honestly, but when i think about it in my head i hear ''tee-bee-tee''

 

[Beanz]

i always say tee-bee-tee, i never imagined there would be any other way to say it. in my head i always say tbt instead of the full name.

 

[Rubygame]

In my native language the closest sound to my pronunciation is "Tee-bee-tee", my pronunciation is actually "Ti-bi-ti". There are certain things that, in my mind, I keep pronouncing in my own language, like numbers and acronyms. Obviously if I speak out loud it doesn't happen, but in my mind it does LOL

 

[kikotoot]

tee-bee-tee all the way! Most abbreviations I'll just say the capitals for

 

[AlyssaAC]

Tee-bee-tee for me! Sometimes I do the bell tree too.

 

[Cirice]

Since I am French, Tey-Beh-Tey (approximately !)

 

[TN4U]

Tee-bee-tee just like pretty much everyone else apparently

 

[Hunter_Gr33n]

Usually I just say tee-bee-tee (when referring to Bells) or The Bell Tree (when referring to the site, or when it's ambiguous), but sometimes I call it Tibet as a joke.

 

[Ravenkitty22]

I say tee-bee-tee always, it’s the abbreviations I’m particular about.

TBT is the site location (ex: “here’s a sketch for art I made for a contest on TBT.”)
tbt is the site currency (ex: “I’ll make an offer of 500 tbt for that collectible.”
igb is the currency in game (sometimes I’ll also just say AC bells)

 

[oath2order]

I pronounce it as "tee bee tee", in the same way that Taylor Swift says "me hee hee" in her hit song "Me!"

 

[FrostyAlmonds]

Tee Bee Tee over here as well!!

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

t b t
I don't think ive ever called bell tree "the bell tree" in my life when saying it in full

 

[FraudulentDimetrodon]

Tuh-may-toe.

... "Tee-bee-tee" like most other folks. Although when I see "TBT" my inner dialogue will often just lengthen it out to "The Bell Tree" anyway when it's about the forums. But the currency is always just "tee-bee-tee," the short form.

 

[seliph]

i pronounce it "gif"

 

[Bui]

I usually just call it "Bell Tree." I used to say each letter of TBT individually, but "tibbit" is a lot more fun to say.

 

[~Kilza~]

I pronounce it the way everybody else does: "tee-bee-tee".

 

[moonbyu]

i just say "the bell tree".. although, i do say "tee-bee-tee" in my head sometimes.
