BFF? Nobody said this back in 1995!

Am I the only one that caught this? Nobody had ever said this retarded phrase back then. Hell, it wasn't even coined until a few years ago on the internets. And internets back in 1995 was pretty much still non-existant, aside from IRC and Usenet.

Other than that, this wasn't too bad a movie. I don't even remember it being in theaters though. Probably because the time it was released, I was doing 50 hour work weeks and watching all my shows via internets, which meant, no adverts at all.

Ha does anybody remember getting your yearbook back where someone signed:

"LYLAS?" If you can't figure it out, someone (or me) will clue you in! :)

I was in 9th grade in 1995, and we most certainly used acronyms! Of course, myspace and all that wasn't invented yet...so obviously we didn't say "BRB" until a few years later, when people started using AOL IM and MSN, etc. I had a "BFF" every other week it seemed!! Well, at least in middle school.

Also, OP, internet did too exist back then. It was dial-up that tied up your phone line and there were very few web sites around, compared to now. There were search engines and free web-based mail as well but computers were not very common items for the average middle class person to have in his or her home; laptops were the luxury of the luxury and weighed about 10 pounds at minimum! :)

Man, we've come a long way in the past 14 years huh? :)

LYLAS means Love You Like A Sister

People didn't say it out loud as much as to write it. I used to sign my notes BFF along with LYLAS. In the movie, he was proofreading his note to her in her yearbook.

I used to use BFF back in junior high. And I was in junior high from 1988-1990, so I'm going to have to say that you are wrong.

When the term started being used on all the celebrity gossips sites, I thought to myself, "Wow, there's a term I haven't heard in a while." I also thought, "How juvenile are these gossip writers to use BFF when referring to adults?"

But, that's just me I guess. Who knows. But, yeah, BFF was used prior to the internet and 1995. :o)

In 1995 I reckon BFF was not in popular use as it was a few years later.

It's that man again!!

BFF was used a lot in the 1970's. Girls primarily said or wrote it to each other.
TLF (true love forever) was reserved for one's love interest...often as wishful thinking about a crush.
