In text and chat messages, BWI stands for "but what if." People use this acronym when suggesting alternatives to a plan, idea, or other notion.
For example, if you suggest that you and your SO go out for Chinese food, your SO may respond with "BWI we order in a pizza instead?" This means your SO wants you to consider (and likely accept) an alternative to your evening dinner plans.
