it makes little sense, as the term itself has as many syllables as the phrase it’s meant to abbreviate. accordingly, it’s degenerated into a cutesy term used mostly by girls. it has also been used in the gay community as a candid way of letting others know you are a bottom.
jason: that’s a very cute outfit you’re wearing, btdubs.
bruce: great, i’m a top. see you at my place at 9?
an augmentation of abbreviation btw (by the way). the ‘dubs’ portion of the term refers to the initial sound of the letter w: ‘double’. double is then shortened to dubs, because that’s street.
