BSF

What Does BSF Mean?

BSF is a term used frequently across TikTok and other social media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. It has lots of meanings, but most of the time it means "Best Friend" or "Best Sister Friend." Another meaning that pops up regularly in text chat is "But Seriously Folks."

Here we take a look at these three most common definitions of BSF and, for the sake of completeness, there's a list of some of the other definitions too.

Best Friend / Best Sister Friend

BSF is often used as shorthand for Best Friend. In this context, it is very similar to BF or terms like BEZZA , BEZZER, BEZZIE, and BESTY.

A BSF is someone with whom one shares a deep level of mutual understanding and trust. Best friends are people a person can confide in, rely on, and spend quality time with. They can be of any gender, and the relationship is typically characterized by trust, loyalty, and unfeigned affection.

Among girls, BSF can also mean Best Sister Friend. In this context, it implies that a female friend is such a close friend, she is like a sister. For example:

• Sam: You're my new BSF.
• Ali: Hurray! Hang on, why now? What's changed?
• Sam: Nothing. Just Jo has been promoted to my actual BSF.
(Here, BSF means "Best Friend" and "Best Sister Friend.")

BSF is not usually used for real sisters.

But Seriously Folks

When used to mean "But Seriously Folks," BSF is used to add emphasis to a comment, or to bring the conversation back to the point after a joke or banter. For example:

• Billy: I got a new stick deodorant yesterday. The instructions said, "Remove cap and push up bottom." I haven't been able to walk properly all morning!
• Jo: LOL!
• Billy: BSF, my farts smell of coconut and apricot!

• Lee: We're going to party, party, party like no one has ever partied before!
• Terry: Yay! BSF, has anyone booked a taxi?
