Just wondering. There's no 'B' in the title anywhere...is it an in-joke?

I'm not sure... I feel like it's something to do with You've Been Framed!, but I have no source for that.

Perhaps You've Been Fired? Don't know, I never use it.

It's just a mistake. A lot of people incorrectly call it "You've Been Fired" which is where the acronym comes from.

I don't really know I did admit to using YBF and did add an lol to the end, it was in humour.

I will take your displeasure on board, and refrain from using YBF
