Why is TBT called TBT?

[OtakuTrash]

I know in-game bells are called IGB, but why is TBT called TBT? What does TBT stand for?

I always thought they should be called BTB (bell tree bells) lol

 

[seliph]

it's shorthand for "tbt bells"

I raised that point in another thread. According to others, the full abbreviation would be TBTB for "the bell tree's bells." To be honest, I also think I like TBT more than BTB

A quote from the mentioned thread:

We had a poll on it back in the early ACNL days and "TBT" was the abbreviation the community preferred. I refer to them as forum bells usually.

Heh it confused me for the longest time; it’s to differentiate between the forum currency bells and the ingame currency bells (called IGB here).

Thanks! I really didn't know...

Got it!
Yeah TBT is easier to say

BTB makes more sense to me but TBT flows better on the tongue.
