I’m a child of the 60s. I may be a little old granny in the stix with dial up (all true),but I’ve lived for 75 years, most of it as an artist/craftsperson around people like myself. Nothing like what my own granny (born in 1895)was.

I read a lot of millennial forums. They have no language filters.

Personally, I’ve always read BTFO as ‘Back the f out’. But ‘blown’ works, too.

BTFO - from dictionary.com - BTFO

What does BTFO mean?
To BTFO is a vulgar internet acronym for “blown the f*ck out.” It’s used to emphasize an extraordinary or embarrassing defeat, especially in a sports or a political argument.

I think this definition fits the context of the Q-drop better. More -

Where does BTFO come from?
BTFO is short for “blown the f*ck out.” In gaming, its meaning is similar to “pwned” or “rekt.” If an individual or a team is BTFO, it means that they have been spectacularly defeated. A BTFO can also refer to someone losing a debate, particularly an online one.

Since the 2016 election, BTFO has become widely used by the alt-right online when they feel an opponent to their viewpoint gets “owned.” They might refer to leftist demonstrators getting BTFO if a protest gets broken up, or a critic of the Trump administration getting BTFO if evidence surfaces that counters their argument. In April 2017, for example, a picture made the rounds online suggesting far fewer New England Patriots football players visited the Trump White House in honor of their Super Bowl Victory than did in 2015 for President Obama. It turned out that many of the 2017 players were in attendance but not in the picture. Trump supporters responded by saying, among other things, “fake news BTFO.”
