tb;do


literally, “too big; didn’t open”

said whenever a noob makes a post with an attached image that is too big to bother downloading to view in full size, specially on an image board like 4chan, instead of resizing it to a more practical size.

usually implies that the person using it tried to open the image in full size but immediatly stopped the download after a couple of seconds of said image slowly appearing 90′ style because it wasn’t worth the wait (judgement made on the thumbnail) or as a protest against such an unrespectful behaviour.

when informed of his mistake, the noob will usually comment in a derogative tone on the internet connection of the protesters.
