What does ctb mean?

[sacrilegeofsouls]

I always thought it meant "cross the border" yk as an euphemism for suicide but I've been seeing people say "catch the bus" alot is that what the agreed upon meaning is? Is there any other variations anyone else thought of too?

 

[Grasp of darkness]

Catch the bus or cease to breathe

Catch the bus, yeah lol
Funny thing is, someone asked a similar question about SI like a week ago and I also clarified it for them

Cease to breathe is definitely quite a bit cooler hm.... how about closing the book

Every time I see it my brain thinks "cut the brakes"

its for when you're driving and miss your turn

"Crap! Turn Back!"

I understand for new people the phrase is confusing, so I've simply stopped using it. I don't say ctb anymore, except when I'm outside of this forum and don't want to get anyone in trouble. I just call it suicide because that is literally what it is.

In other terms, time to go back

I assumed it meant cross the bridge, from life to death

 

[Vsty]

I assumed it truly means cross the bridge because you are crossing from life to death

"The slang term "catch the bus" originated online in the early 1990s on the early internet discussion forum alt.suicide.holiday"
