CategoriesTexting & Internet Slang

TBQH stands for To be quite honest, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Intensified version of TBH, used when the writer wants to stress candor, frustration or a strongly held view. More common in the late 2000s and early 2010s than today.

Example: Tbqh that meeting could have been an email.

Usage notes

The added "quite" gives a slightly British or mock-formal flavor. Sometimes used jokingly to introduce something trivial as if it were a weighty confession. Rare among teens now, who prefer "ngl" or "fr."
