Big deal

You can emphasize the importance of something, such as an issue, person, or an event, with "BD," which stands for "big deal."

Baby daddy

If you're currently discussing a child's father, BD may stand for "baby daddy." Most commonly, people use BD to refer to a father who is not present in his child's life. (If a woman is lucky, her BD at least pays child support.)
