TP

An acronym used in baseball and softball to describe a play where three outs are recorded.

Triple plays are a lot less common than double plays because there has to be 0 outs, at least two runners on the bases, a well placed hit ball, and good defense since there is less room for error. There are a variety of triple plays that can happen in baseball, but the most common way is when there is a runner on first, second, and third base because there is a force out at each base, which increases the chances for more outs.

TP is shorthand for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that fans of the Zelda series use when discussing the game online and in gaming communities. It helps players quickly reference the title (released on November 19, 2006, for the Nintendo Wii and later for the GameCube), especially in conversations comparing different Zelda games, discussing gameplay mechanics, or sharing experiences.

Specifically, you will see TP widely used on forums, social media, and gaming platforms where space is limited, such as Reddit, Discord, and Twitter. For example, players may use TP when discussing speedrunning strategies and the game's darker tone, unique wolf transformation mechanic, or expansive dungeons. Additionally, TP is one of several Zelda game acronyms, along with BOTW, TOTK, and WW.

Food, water, and TP make up the bare necessities of life. And if you disagree, try doing your business without toilet paper, then get back to us.

Most sources date toilet paper, albeit in rudimentary form, back to the 15th century. However, modern toilet paper originated in 1857. Nowadays, the once-considered luxury is now a must-have asset in the bathroom.

TP is used across generations to refer to toilet paper. Examples of its use include, "Can you get some TP at the store?" or, "Maa, we're all out of TP! Can you bring me some?!?!"
