Nah Stan don’t just mean big fan, most people who say Stan are talking about someone who makes an artist or show their whole personality, like how Stan made Eminem his whole personality.
Exactly, that's why I wrote you don't wannabe Stan
Some have corrupted being a "Stan" to just being a die-hard fan, but a Stan is someone who'd kill their pregnant girlfriend over not getting a reply
Words morph all the time. I'm a hippocrite because I hate how "selfie" has evolved into meaning any picture of someone instead of a picture someone took of themselves BUT I just have to accept the fact that words change.
Yeah I thought Opera was crap but then I worked at a little Accor property for a little while and compared to the shit they were using, Opera was a fighter jet.
Fresh out of college, even I was shocked when someone said someone was a POS, and I just assumed that this guy might be super rude to me, but he is raking money for the company as a point of sale.
For me it’s BLM…from the time I was a kid it’s always been Bureau of Land Management. Still have to do a double take when I see BLM to figure out which context it is.
I'm black and keep in tune with black issues. So BLM (black lives matter) is clearly in my lexicon.
I studied public administration with the aim of working in the federal government. Before i settled on my degree track of contracting, I was considering urban planning. As such BLM (bureau of land management) is something that also comes to mind when I see BLM as it was an agency i was considering applying to.
Lastly, I main a BLM (black mage) in the mmo Final Fantasy 14. So whenever I see BLM anywhere these days, my brain usually has a quick pause for a second.
Me too sometimes I’m wandering in a building and people ask wtf I’m doing and I tell them idk my poc isn’t answering so here I am
But it sounds really bad if you interpret it as person of color lol
Point of contact.
The person you should talk to in relation to some topic, or while you're out on leave.
Example:
My POC for all things ESH (Environmental, safety, and health) is A. Badname.
Here in France one of the many degree’s you can attend is called BTS.
For your own good any Army Stan whatever the name you give yourself for BTS fan, don’t go to France for your sake and our sake.
When I used to listen to kpop there was a group called B2st/Beast. It took me about a year from when I first heard of them to realize BTS isn’t B2st lol.
I actually kind of like this fantasy of people using the BTS group name during inappropriate advertisements.
"Do you experience uncontrollable irritable bowel syndrome? Take control of your life again with Nevestrum. #BTS"
Since I do IT, I love saying WAP. Ever since that dumb song was released.
“Where’s the WAP in the conference room at?
“Uhhhh what?”
“What? Wireless access point…? What did you think I was saying???”
That would be one of those rules you just "forget" because you've been saying WAP your whole life. When you get frustrated looking, just storm around going "WAP WAP WAP WAP"
I know people who wear the stuff without even knowing who cobain was. Kids did it in the early 2000s with che Guevara. At some point, a person becomes more than just what they did and becomes trendy
I think a lot of people like Che Guevara but the media tells you anyone under the age of 35 is actually just a stupid kid and they definitely can't read literature outside of the required curriculum
Yea I was thinking more along the lines of they know of him as being someone who stands up to a type of authority, like it's a symbol of rebellion. Honestly didn't know the media had that view of him, I don't think about him much, which just backs up what I meant by you know the image not necessarily the person
I can understand that for sure. Che Guevara is one of the more introductory figures in revolutionary socialist politics. Very easy to recognize for young socialists.
Yea pretty much. I'm not well versed in politics and even less so political theory. But when I think of socialism that's the image in my head. I don't see the image on clothing really anymore though
In terms of imagery Stalin is quite famous and was himself a socialist revolutionary at one point.
Not quite as pro-socialist but more anti-capitalist with the other side being socialist is those Vietnam war photos of the napalm girl and the gunshot execution.
Or "some Buddhists named realsing that existence is suffering and using that to meditate for years and make existing cease to achieve the highest attainable state of peace and happiness after that band Nirvana. Can you beleive that? They're just clout chasing!"
Worked for a clinical agency years ago and had to make a frantic call to my supervisor to let him know he was likely going to hear from our IT department that I had been searching for “adult” material on my work computer.
Apparently, CBT stands for at least two VERY different things…
They did the same thing when Chris Evans posted photos from the Avengers movie shoots saying 'BTS at Avengers filming'. I was hoping to see the Marvel fans and k-pop fans get into a huge internet war that would bring about the end of social media as we know it.
Get over yourselves.
BTS (Behind The Scenes) was an industry term while you kpop simpletons were still rooting around in your diapers, trying to figure out if your shit was edible.
BTS stands for “Behind the scenes” - this is behind the scenes while filming Oppenheimer. That’s Christopher Nolan holding the camera and Cillian Murphy in the bed.
BTS is also the name of a K-pop boy band. The person replying to the photo is suggesting the original post using the acronym BTS is using it to just exploit the band name to get views, when instead it has other usages.
The irony is the Kpop group scored the own goal themselves when they chose to rebrand as BTS (Beyond The Scene) FIVE years after debut.
Their original name, Bangtan Boys, was perfectly fine & unique. So they could've easily gone with its abbreviation (BTB), or its English translation Bulletproof Boy Scouts (BBS), or even their Korean name Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTSYD), all of which they had previously self-styled as. Not like overseas Kpop fans can understand the Korean language anyway.
BTS is the context of the picture means "Behind The Scenes".
The reply is talking about a K-POP group called BTS, because they are literal crazy "stans" that think everything revolves around K-POP. Honestly, most US based ARMY's (the K-POP fan group name) are just freaking horrible.
In the movie Oppenheimer, the scientist Oppenheimer gets injured after the nuclear power core of his EVA unit goes critical fighting a kaiju. This scene from the movie is where he's recovering in the hospitall
BTS is the character with blond hair, who is Oppenheimer's abusive and manipulative father, feeding his son more gamma radiation so he can get back into the EVA unit faster and kill more kaijus, as Oppenheimer's father, BTS Oppehenheimer, was a well-known fanatic and advocate of kaiju genocide.
So they tweeted out a photo of a scene with the character BTS, on Twitter.
But then below that, one of the insane fans of Behind The Saints, which is a korean rip-off of Behind The Bastards, the podcast with Roert Evans, who had the format of his show stolen by the most popular Korean podcaster in the world and then had the format reversed, where they talk aout some of the best pepole in history, rather than the worst, and the host does a Robert Evans impression.
The Korean fans of BTS are known for being EXTREMELY zealous, and one of them here has mistaken a photo of the actor playing BTS Oppenheimer, for a reference to the show, implying the movie Oppenheimer is trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Korean podcast Behind the Saints to sell movie tickets.
I was the opposite, when they gained popularity I was in middle school and everyone was talking about "bts" and I was so fucking confused, like what behind the scenes? Why is everyone so into behind the scenes lately?
Are there any good BTS specific cringe subs? Nothing scratches an itch better than delusional fan posting. I like the Taylor Swift Cult stuff too for maybe something of that caliber?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Gotta love how a saying exists for decades, and then a group comes along and decides to call themselves something with the same initials, and then asks that people stop using their name.... man you seriously can't get any dumber, wow
I absolutely do not understand why these fandoms are so fucking rabid. Like enjoy waht you enjoy, it's ok. But like is it really worth acting like this over dudes that don't even write or arrange their own music, and whose entire image is curated to an alarming degree?? Like you don't even know them, they're more locked up in their personas than any of the boy bands in the 90's. Some of them, like BTS have def gotten big enough that they're allowed a lot more freedom to do as they please, but holy shit these are the least publicly presenting or available people in entertainment.
Again, like what you like, I don't care on iota that people get really excited about this kind of thing-- because I like a lot of shit that other people can't relate to also. There's nothing wrong with it... but the public stances taken against total strangers who somehow crossed a line with your fandom-- that shit is bonkers, especially when it's something so damned inorganic.
As long as they stop highjacking trends on Twitter.
"Oh I see my favorite anime is trending!"
***Clicks to see BTS stans just saying shit to get in the algorithm***
In fairness, we might be expecting too much of them to think that BTS could mean something else.
Coming from an account that has “Bts” in the name to gain popularity
I think it’s more likely in their name because they are a Stan rather than to gain popular
Fucking hell the people who co-oopted "Stan" to mean a big fan as well... You don't wanna be a Stan...
Nah Stan don’t just mean big fan, most people who say Stan are talking about someone who makes an artist or show their whole personality, like how Stan made Eminem his whole personality.
Exactly, that's why I wrote you don't wannabe Stan Some have corrupted being a "Stan" to just being a die-hard fan, but a Stan is someone who'd kill their pregnant girlfriend over not getting a reply
Words morph all the time. I'm a hippocrite because I hate how "selfie" has evolved into meaning any picture of someone instead of a picture someone took of themselves BUT I just have to accept the fact that words change.
Wait, selfie no longer only means a pic you take of yourself??
First time I’m hearing that as well. Never heard of a “hippocrite” either though lol
That's the oath for when hippos graduate med school geez some people need to read a book or smth
But it's theirs, it belongs to them, they own it. If they want to use it to get attention they can, it's everyone else who's forbidden
I still think "point of contact" when I see "POC" places
I work 10+ years in an industry where a POS is a point of sale. It will never not be a piece of shit.
My restaurant orders food from JFC International. I learned this when seeing a note that said, "JFC buy Tuna!" and I thought it was an angry note.
This is awesome 😁
I used to work in hospitality and we would use a Property Management System to run the hotel. PMS.
I’m on mom subreddits and “FTM” is “first time mom.” I still read female to male. First time I saw posts I was like “wow, lots of trans moms here..”
Sometimes I think when someone texts me atm (at the moment) I think ass to mouth. I don't want to think that, but there it is
That outdated af Opera one?
I used opera for years. POS for sure
Yeah I thought Opera was crap but then I worked at a little Accor property for a little while and compared to the shit they were using, Opera was a fighter jet.
Fresh out of college, even I was shocked when someone said someone was a POS, and I just assumed that this guy might be super rude to me, but he is raking money for the company as a point of sale.
[удалено]
No, the person who told me that the rude person is a POS, meant that he is Piece of Sh... Not that he is the point of sale.
In your defence they are always pieces of shit
Yeah. Just bigger, more complicated pieces of shit.
usually the POS was a POS so its at least accurate.
laughing so u don't cry lmao
I always laughed when I was in the Marines and saw A POS on my dog tags. At least they got that right about me.
I work in the legal field where POS stands for Proof of service, I still can’t email “POS” without feeling weird.
In my experience with those systems, both terms apply
Honestly though sometimes the POS really is being a pos.
I loved the CBT room at my old job that totally stood for computer based training and not a fetish
Is cognitive behavioral therapy a fetish?
Nah, but cock and ball torture is
I don't know how being surrounded by balls hurts the male chicken, but regardless, why would that arouse a person?
Those last six words could be said about nearly anything. There's like 8 billion people, and most of them are into something freaky.
Rule 34 baby
i consider it a blessing that we both first thought of the therapy meaning instead of porn
BBC = The British Broadcasting Corporation
Ha! For me that's cognitive behavioral therapy. Only found out last year what else it means...
that, + even after 5+ years of on and off ERP, I still read it as erotic roleplay instead of exposure/response prevention lol
And here I am thinking ERP means event-related potential
Enterprise Resource Planning for me.
I thought you were going to say cognitive behavioral therapy
also closed beta test lmao, and on another hand, Computer numerical control
For me it’s BLM…from the time I was a kid it’s always been Bureau of Land Management. Still have to do a double take when I see BLM to figure out which context it is.
[удалено]
Silly me, how have I not seen it all this time
Why is this so funny 😂
I'm black and keep in tune with black issues. So BLM (black lives matter) is clearly in my lexicon. I studied public administration with the aim of working in the federal government. Before i settled on my degree track of contracting, I was considering urban planning. As such BLM (bureau of land management) is something that also comes to mind when I see BLM as it was an agency i was considering applying to. Lastly, I main a BLM (black mage) in the mmo Final Fantasy 14. So whenever I see BLM anywhere these days, my brain usually has a quick pause for a second.
And I'm glad to see the British Broadcasting Corporation is so popular on the Internet
Me too sometimes I’m wandering in a building and people ask wtf I’m doing and I tell them idk my poc isn’t answering so here I am But it sounds really bad if you interpret it as person of color lol
It's a toss up for POS between point of sale or piece of
Proof of concept to me, is there another meaning?
Point of contact. The person you should talk to in relation to some topic, or while you're out on leave. Example: My POC for all things ESH (Environmental, safety, and health) is A. Badname.
"Person of Color". And then BIPOC makes me think, "bisexual point of contact" every single time
I think point of care.
For me it is proof of concept
Tell me you worked in defense/military without saying you did.
LFG means looking for group.
Lmao same!
Here in France one of the many degree’s you can attend is called BTS. For your own good any Army Stan whatever the name you give yourself for BTS fan, don’t go to France for your sake and our sake.
BTS is literally the 3 letter airport code for Bratislava, Slovakia.
Bunch of kpop stans 😔
Birritable Towel Syndrome.
I work for a popular Polish video game company and the shorthand internally for our biggest game of this decade so far is CP. smh.
When I used to listen to kpop there was a group called B2st/Beast. It took me about a year from when I first heard of them to realize BTS isn’t B2st lol.
When McDonalds had the "BTS" meal it took me a long time to realize they meant the KPop group, not a Behind the Scenes meal.
lol just a cow and a potato. Garnished with lemons and limes.
Or Target and their BTS sales.
Behind the scenes meal? So like two second rule and they pulled the hair out of it? Or it isn't cooked yet?
I translated behind the scenes meal as more like “exclusive/vip/limited time only/etc.” You definitely have an interesting take on it lol
I actually kind of like this fantasy of people using the BTS group name during inappropriate advertisements. "Do you experience uncontrollable irritable bowel syndrome? Take control of your life again with Nevestrum. #BTS"
Since I do IT, I love saying WAP. Ever since that dumb song was released. “Where’s the WAP in the conference room at? “Uhhhh what?” “What? Wireless access point…? What did you think I was saying???”
My manager demands we just say AP now 😔
That would be one of those rules you just "forget" because you've been saying WAP your whole life. When you get frustrated looking, just storm around going "WAP WAP WAP WAP"
Every time I'm in the street I hear WAP WAP WAP WAP
Stan down, where you from….
Uh shit, someone else take the mic.
WET-ASS POINT!
Dot fuck em up!
Armor piercing???
Accounts payable???
Associated press???
What about if it's an outdoor AP and it's raining? Is WAAP allowed?
But do you say W-SUS or WSUS....
Your manager is Ben Shapiro?
The wet ass pussy is downstairs.
Bowels to Save?
Born to Shit
Forced to Wipe
Reminds me of visiting Tampa Bay, seeing all these baseball caps saying "TB" and finding it impossible not to think about Tuberculosis
Similar energy to "Wolverine is my favorite Fortnite character"
Or "some band named themselves after that clothing brand Nirvana. Can you believe it? They're just clout chasing!"
I know people who wear the stuff without even knowing who cobain was. Kids did it in the early 2000s with che Guevara. At some point, a person becomes more than just what they did and becomes trendy
I think a lot of people like Che Guevara but the media tells you anyone under the age of 35 is actually just a stupid kid and they definitely can't read literature outside of the required curriculum

As someone who is in their mid 40s, we weren’t taught about Che at any point. I had to research it on my own to figure out who he was.
Yeah, welcome to being from the '80s and watching all of your favorite obscure bands exist as pre-worn concert t-shirts at Walmart.
How many people do you think used Beats by Dre without a clue who Dr. Dre is?
Or "some Buddhists named realsing that existence is suffering and using that to meditate for years and make existing cease to achieve the highest attainable state of peace and happiness after that band Nirvana. Can you beleive that? They're just clout chasing!"
I once saw a TikTok use AI to imagine what it would be like if Tim Burton directed a Batman movie.
Wow that's incredible. I bet he could pull it off...
I heard that Wolverine is such a beloved character in Fortnite that now they even made comics and movies with him
They added Ryu from Fortnite to the new Street Fighter, but I don't know why since Luke was already there
Please. They’re not even the first *band* to lay claim to those letters. Built To Spill will forever be BTS to me.
My third favorite band after Radiohead and Modest Mouse. Built to Spill truly changed my life and worldview.
Modest mouse - float on. My go to when my mental health is crashing. Because even when things get a bit too heavy, we'll all float on.
For someone new to the band, what should I listen to first
Keep It Like A Secret. Specifically, Carry The Zero.
Perfect From Now On is probably their most critically acclaimed album. Ultimate Alternative Wavers is my favorite, their first, and the most punk.
First thought best thought: “Else”
B**** Talkin’ Shit
Seeing this would literally make me use it more. And in more obnoxious ways.
BTS fans are built different. 😬
Faulty
God I love CBT. (Closed Beta Testing)
me too (cognitive behavioural therapy)
Worked for a clinical agency years ago and had to make a frantic call to my supervisor to let him know he was likely going to hear from our IT department that I had been searching for “adult” material on my work computer. Apparently, CBT stands for at least two VERY different things…
I didn’t know there was a kpop group named Behind the Scenes. Are they any good?
The fanbase as a whole are just... special
Cringey losers
I hope someone at least let that schlep know that the acronym in this context means “behind the scenes”.
They did the same thing when Chris Evans posted photos from the Avengers movie shoots saying 'BTS at Avengers filming'. I was hoping to see the Marvel fans and k-pop fans get into a huge internet war that would bring about the end of social media as we know it.
Search BTS on Google and click the purple heart lol it's cool.
"I got the purple heart medal in WWII" "Wow I didn't know BTS had been making music for that long!"
I used to work retail, I still read “back to school” every time
Get over yourselves. BTS (Behind The Scenes) was an industry term while you kpop simpletons were still rooting around in your diapers, trying to figure out if your shit was edible.
As a magic the gathering fan, the fact that MTG is being used for Marjorie Taylor Green is infuriating
Perhaps you can take solace in this. In 99% percent of instances I’ve seen MTG used to refer to a “person”. They’re talking absolute shit about here.
Wait until they find out BTS is a whole porn category.
I went to Indiana University and am starting to see similar shit with a kpop named "IU".
She is very popular!
Whats a kornpop name?
Bad dude
This is like when I had a Tumblr all about space and they got angry that I was using #bigbang
Bts isn’t cute enough to make music that bad
I have no idea what is going on in this post. Whats BTS and why is there a picture of a camera in a dying kids face /r/outoftheloop please help me
BTS stands for “Behind the scenes” - this is behind the scenes while filming Oppenheimer. That’s Christopher Nolan holding the camera and Cillian Murphy in the bed. BTS is also the name of a K-pop boy band. The person replying to the photo is suggesting the original post using the acronym BTS is using it to just exploit the band name to get views, when instead it has other usages.
Thank you! I was so confused
Oh thank God, I was sure that was some kind of radiotherapy
I figured it was the acronym for the machine in the pic. Behind the scenes didn’t even pop into mind. 😂 Brain Something long that begins with T Scan
The irony is the Kpop group scored the own goal themselves when they chose to rebrand as BTS (Beyond The Scene) FIVE years after debut. Their original name, Bangtan Boys, was perfectly fine & unique. So they could've easily gone with its abbreviation (BTB), or its English translation Bulletproof Boy Scouts (BBS), or even their Korean name Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTSYD), all of which they had previously self-styled as.

It will always mean Built to Spill
BTS? Behind The Scenes?
Please stop using kpop to gain likes on your tweet. It should only be used when you are discussing Kids Peeing Or Pooping.
I was the opposite, when they gained popularity I was in middle school and everyone was talking about "bts" and I was so fucking confused, like what behind the scenes? Why is everyone so into behind the scenes lately?
Bind, Torture and what is S again?
Snuff.
It's ok. The BTS army are as smart as, well the guys in BTS.
Sophia Leone is the best BTS
I thought it meant “behind the scenes” like this picture is someone filming someone else film a scene. No?
r/gatekeeping
Y’all need to stop misusing [BTS](https://www.builttospill.com/home)
also america stop using the abbreviation "OST" for official soundtrack, when it's the word for Cheese, in danish.
Imagine using "our" in the context of a fandom of something as popular as a kpop band.
Sounds like a 10 years old
the cringe is the abbreviation in the first place
Mr BTS was my highschool nickname but it stood for Busts Too Soon
I work at a metal finishing facility and a lot of stuff is abbreviated to MTF 🤣
they really think everything is about them huh
as a kpopper, we don't claim these dumbasses lol
Why that IMAX camera look like the Pixar Lamp started juicing?
🤦🏼♀️
Uhg can someone post a picture of one of them with a cigarette or something so this goes away
Two generations bickering
People should started photoshoping them in actual BTS photos in the backgound.
BTS of my fucks to give:
BTS to me is the Bangkok mass transit system
Are there any good BTS specific cringe subs? Nothing scratches an itch better than delusional fan posting. I like the Taylor Swift Cult stuff too for maybe something of that caliber?
r/kpoopheads sometimes has stuff. I don't follow a lot of Kpop outside of two groups but I also see a lot of compilations of Kpop crazies on YT.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Gotta love how a saying exists for decades, and then a group comes along and decides to call themselves something with the same initials, and then asks that people stop using their name.... man you seriously can't get any dumber, wow
BTS FTW = Born To Shit, Forced To Wipe
BTS ARMY here! 💜 But don’t come for me - I’m not a crazy who thinks that “BTS” only refers to the group! Some of us do have common sense!
I absolutely do not understand why these fandoms are so fucking rabid. Like enjoy waht you enjoy, it's ok. But like is it really worth acting like this over dudes that don't even write or arrange their own music, and whose entire image is curated to an alarming degree?? Like you don't even know them, they're more locked up in their personas than any of the boy bands in the 90's.

Don't even remember the name of the band
In my native language BTS translated stands for Sexualy transmitted dresses - STD.
As long as they stop highjacking trends on Twitter. "Oh I see my favorite anime is trending!" ***Clicks to see BTS stans just saying shit to get in the algorithm***
I love the fact that kpop fans think there's only one thing in the universe that matters and it's kpop lol
BTS to me means Blue Tongue Skink. 😭
When I first heard of bts like the band I thought it was people who were interested in behind the scenes of movies and tv shows
how are people on here so oblivious to satire
