🔘 URTB

What does URTB stand for?

◻️You are the best

Someone who sends you URTB thinks "you are the best." You might receive this acronym after you do something swell for a friend, family member, or co-worker, as an expression of their appreciation.
If you want to quickly say "you're welcome" to the person who sent you URTB, you can respond with YW. If you want them to know their praise hasn't given you a big head, you can throw in a NP or NBD as well.

❓Example
Thanks for the idea, urtb
NP, happy to help!

🔘 CEO Of

What does being the CEO of something mean?

◻️The best at

Being the CEO of something means you are the very best (or at least incredibly exceptional) at doing that thing. For example, Batman is the CEO of detectives, Al Roker is the CEO of TV meteorology, and Kim Kardashian is the CEO of being famous for no reason.
TikTok users, especially, like to say that other users are the CEO of something - whether it be twerking, waffles, giving high fives, or the year 1957. CEO, of course, still means chief executive officer, but in this context, there is no actual company involved - just a GOAT social media champion, showing off their sick skills.

❓Example
Can you believe Serena Williams won again? That woman's the CEO of female tennis

🔘 Locked In

What does it mean when someone is locked in?

◻️Doing well

When someone is doing something so well, they are "locked in," meaning all other distractions fall away because they are incredibly focused on the task at hand. For example, if a person's fit perfectly complements their make-up, making them look amazing, they are "locked in."
You will see or hear people use "locked in" in person and online (including on social media). Some areas where people may be locked in include sports, fashion, and work.
For example, a basketball commentator may exclaim, "Brown is locked in tonight, draining his 5th three-pointer of the night!" Or, a Zendaya fan may ask, "Have you seen Dune 2 yet? My girl Zen was locked in!" And a more mundane example is "Luke just crushed his work presentation. He's locked in!"

❓Example
Jessica's dress is fire
Bet. She's locked in

🔘 Hop Off

What does hop off mean?

◻️Go away

Hop off means "Go away" or "Leave me alone." It is used both online and offline to tell a person that he should stop whatever he's doing and leave you alone.
The phrase comes from when a person is riding you too hard, almost like a car driving too close to your tail on the highway and you tell him to "hop off your tail." It gained popularity in the early-2000s as an alternative to the "Back off" phrase.
It may be used in a variety of situations, like when your partner is being too critical of you or your parent is telling you how to live your life. It is a good alternative to lashing out and regretting saying something really hurtful.

❓Example
I really don't think you should be dating her. She's not right for you
Hop off! You don't even know her
