    Yeah well the other meaning I can see is motherfucker.

    Also, I hate b/w for between. It doesn’t make sense. It’s not bet ween. It’s be tween.

      It’s a semi arbitrary symbol for speeding up handwriting. It’s just supposed to be recognizable, connecting the two most important letters. Which it does well.

        Why is the w more important than the t, with the T representing the second syllable

          It just makes more sense to me. The w sound is longer and more important imo but I wouldn’t be mad if you did shorthand a different way.
