Grandma will tell you. It means jack booted thug.

And I bet you your grandma never used the abbreviation JBT because she used English as it was meant to be not as a hip form of social snobbery.

Sorry to be so harsh but using abbreviations without defining those abbreviations will only confuse and irritate people who are not privy to your particular definition. For all I (we) know, you could have meant "Just Being Thoughtful", or "Jolly Big Thing" or any number of things.

Speak and write English properly and you will communicate more easily - as well as being seen as a person of greater intellect and sophistication.

Oh and, dearling, I never used the term. Another poster did. I only clarified what it meant. And, before you lecture others? You might want to stop using BOLD and shouting at people.

Have a good evening dear.
