What does Ack! Thbbbt! mean?

I named my blog Ack! Thbbbt! after the sounds used by Bill the Cat from Bloom County to express himself.  But what does it mean?  Here's my guess:



Ack!
Loosely translated = "How appalling!"



Thbbbt!
Loosely translated = "Who cares?"
(Yes, I see that I've misspelled it.  Thbbbt!)



 


Most of my own outlook on life can be summed up using the same two words.

***

If, by chance, you are actually searching for what #tbt means, that stands for "ThrowBack Thursday".  You'll see that on Facebook a lot when people post old photos.

I just came across your site by accident. I was scrolling across another site and finger-twitched as I passed over their "favorite blogs" list. Since serendipity should not be ignored, I read some of your blog. I've enjoyed reading your stories.

It may be that I stayed to read because I thought I recognized the title from Bill The Cat. I wasn't sure, but then I found your explanatory link and followed THAT!

And then I saw your explanation of TBT. The first time I ever saw that, I was very confused. Because, on my cat blog, *I* am TBT (The Big Thing). Not because I am a large human, but because I imagine that is how the 3 cats comprehend me.
