What does BFF stand for?
BFF stands for 'best friends forever'. It began as a written abbreviation in notes and instant messaging and is now also said aloud, letter by letter.
What is the difference between BFF and bestie?
Both mean a closest friend, but BFF is an initialism carrying the idea of permanence, while bestie is a shortened form of 'best friend' used as an affectionate nickname. Bestie is more often used to address the person directly; BFF is more often used to describe them to others.
Can you have more than one BFF?
In practice, yes. Although 'best' suggests a single person, people commonly speak of their BFFs in the plural, and the term is used loosely for a small circle of very close friends.
