BFFR is one of those acronyms which is often misinterpreted, mainly because it is so similar to another acronym which boasts a similar collection of letters but with one major difference.
BFFR is incredibly similar to BFF, which most people will know stands for Best Friends Forever.
In fact, BFFR is so similar that it is often interpreted as simply being a slightly longer version of the aforementioned Best Friends Forever; the R representing the ‘ever’ at the end of ‘Forever’.

BFFR is increasingly being used on TikTok and in other social media platforms as a way of saying something completely different – notably in the face of someone who is avoiding something or when talking about an issue which is being overlooked.
