What does BFF mean: decipher the popular English abbreviation

A lot of abbreviations appeared in the Russian language, which migrated from the English language. Five years ago, no one knew what LOL, RIP, and ASAP are. Now, people who did not study English at school and can hardly pronounce "my name is Vasya" use automatic foreign language abbreviations. Today we will find out what BFF means when this abbreviation is used, and also give examples of proposals.

Meaning of BFF

These three letters are often found in English-language series and songs. Most often they are mentioned during online communication: in chat rooms, SMS correspondence and other virtual communication.

What does BFF mean? It is easy to guess that this is a reduction of three words. Here is the complete phrase: best friends forever. That is, "best friends forever."

This phrase is used to describe a strong friendship when people maintain a strong spiritual closeness.

Best friends

Surely you have a person with whom it is always nice to talk. You share secret secrets with him, plans for the distant tomorrow and always come to his aid. That is, you are BFF, best friends forever. Also, this abbreviation may indicate a singular, best friend forever. Accordingly, the translation will be "best friend (friend)".

It is noteworthy that this phrase is acceptable for both men and women. It makes no difference which gender your best friend belongs to.

Examples of offers

To better remember what BFF means in English, here are some examples of sentences with this acronym.

  5. You can rely on me, I am your BFF. You can count on me, I'm your best friend forever.

Where else is BFF used?

As mentioned, this acronym is most often mentioned in online communication. It is characteristic of informal speech, therefore it is not allowed in a scientific or business style.

Interestingly, BFF is not just a reduction, but a well-recognized brand. You can see many products with these three letters: T-shirts, cups, pendants, rings, stickers and posters.

BFF inscription with hearts

For example, girls often buy paired pendants in the form of a heart divided into two parts with the inscription BFF. Or put on the so-called friendship bracelets with the inscription "best friends forever". Such paraphernalia looks very nice.

Perhaps people who do not know what BFF is, wearing such accessories will seem childish. But you must admit, sometimes it is so important to know that you have a real friend who will come to the rescue, help out and help with a kind word. A simple bracelet or pendant reminds you of your strong friendship.
