Bn

Bn is an abbreviation of the word "been" that people often use when texting. They may also use bn when messaging online, including in posts and DMs on social sites like TikTok and Twitter.

For example, you may text your friend, "its bn 2 long! how u doin, brotha?!?" Or, one of your followers on X might post, "has ne1 here bn to chile? im thinking of going."

While bn is not much of an abbreviation considering its original length, it is one of many short words that remove two letters. Other examples include r, y, and u.
