DBTS

1. What does DBTS stand for in messages?

Don't believe that stuff

You will likely see DBTS pop up in online conversations when someone wants to warn others against falling for rumors or unverified information. Whether it's an alarming news story or a too-good-to-be-true deal, DBTS reminds you to filter out the noise and rely on critical thinking.

Social media users and forum participants might type DBTS when confronted with something that seems too outrageous or suspect to be true. Or, you might see it in texts when the sender is wary of something that seems untrue. It's meant to be a digital reality check, urging people to pause and question before accepting something at face value.

Example

did you hear that Neil won the lottery?
dbts, he's always making stuff up!

Don't believe their s***

Censored

If someone sends you "DBTS" in a message, they are telling you not to believe something false or offensive they had said. For example, if you get in a fight with a friend and they say something hurtful to you, another one of your friends may attempt to comfort you, "dbts. they r just mad they have no gf."

DBTS is a vulgar variation of the "don't believe that stuff" (DBTS) acronym. While the two acronyms are interchangeable, people typically use the nasty variation to respond to egregious lies spouted in a text, online message, or real life.

Example

dbts, they don't know what they are talking about
thx. i don't know y they r so mad
they need to go tough grass

That DBTS look
