a few days ago, I read an article in which the author mentioned a short WIB, I can't exactly remember its context. but the short keeps confusing me.

a guy told me:"maybe it means who insults b-itch or whore is better. I am not sure"

Can anybody tell me what it actually means? thanks

"Woman's institute of british" I think so. anyway, it's not certain. the meaning depends on the context very much. Wink

Phucauto is right - it depends on the context. WIB can mean 'Wounded in battle', 'Weekly information bulletin', 'Workforce Investment Board' ... and dozens of other possibilities.

Redrose: you will have to give us the context if we are to tell you what was meant by a short WIB.

Wib is sometimes used as a generic slang term for weed, hash, skunk or any other cannabis but that does not seem to fit in with the sentence you quote.

It is also sometimes used as a slang word for a male who enjoys anal activity. It is an acronym: Wiener in Bum. But that does not seem to fit in with the sentence you quote either.

But Brian is right. WIB can stand for many things.
