BTYC

What does BTYC stand for in online messages?

Better than you can

BTYC is a quick, snappy comeback when someone criticizes your skills or performance. It's a response you might see in competitive spaces, especially online gaming, when a player wants to shut down trash talk by implying they can still perform better than their critic. The term has been floating around Internet culture since at least the mid-2000s, popularized in gaming forums, multiplayer chat rooms, and social media exchanges where competition and ego often collide.

While most common among gamers, BTYC may also appear in other competitive or creative communities, like sports chats, art critique threads, or even workplace banter. People usually type "BTYC" in all caps for extra impact, sometimes paired with emojis or GIFs for extra emphasis.

Example

Wow, you totally missed that shot. Do you even know how to aim?
BTYC. Want me to show you how it’s done next round?
