It could be worse
When you describe a bad situation and someone responds with ICBW, the acronym likely stands for "it could be worse." This phrase is meant to reassure you because your situation is not as bad as it could be.
Of course, the fact that your current situation could be worse does not actually make it less bad. So feel free to respond with a sarcastic "wow TY ur absolutely right" (written with a trailing "/s" for maximum effect) whenever someone sends you ICBW.
