TBH stands for, "To Be Honest"

What does TBH mean?

This abbreviation stands To Be Honest, which directly means “being honest” or “In my honest opinion”. When a sender is using the term, it means they are completely honest.

TBH was originally used with a blunt or slightly antagonistic statement to suggest the statement derived from sincerity. In other words, TBH was used to protect the author of an overly candid statement by serving as a caveat with the meaning "I'm only telling you this because I am being truthful." However, TBH has become so common on social media platforms like Facebook and in chat rooms, its meaning has now been diluted. The meaning of TBH can now range from "I think..." to "I'm sorry for being blunt, but..."
