BTDT

An abbreviation for "been there, done that," a set phrase used to acknowledge that one has done or experienced something before, either as a form of dismissal or of empathy. Whitewater rafting? BTDT. Let's do something more extreme! A: "I got back to my car a mere three minutes after the meter expired, and I still got a parking ticket!" B: "Ugh, BTDT." Her response is always "BTDT." Like, I could tell her I'm going to Mars, and that's still what she would text me back—it's so annoying!
