dc - Look at it this way. If things go as you hope, Oxy will have two home games if they can TCB at Willamette.

Had to Google that one. Never seen it acronymized before.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

*makes up words*

Wouldn't expect a 'kid' like you to know it!

I hadn't seen the acronym in probably 25 years, but it's been on several boards the last couple of weeks - must be a comeback.

[OMG, does that mean bell-bottoms might come back, too?! ]

ROFL WTF NSFW FWIW!

K-Mack  I'm sure you've heard Aretha's verion of Respect.  Just before the sock-it-to-me s, she sings TCB!

For those not old enough or too old to know, he didn't mean blue suede.  He meant Blue Swede.

Glad it wasn't really blue suede - I didn't remember the 50s already coming back in the 70s!

I still didn't have a clue what you guys were talking about so I decided to TCB on my own and look it up in Wikipedia:

TCB, an often quoted (or misquoted) lyric from the Aretha Franklin song "Respect"

Franklin's version of the song contains the famous lines (as printed in the lyrics included in the 1985 compilation album Atlantic Soul Classics):

    R-E-S-P-E-C-T
    Find out what it means to me
    R-E-S-P-E-C-T
    Take care ... TCB

The last line is often misquoted as "Take out, TCP", or something similar, and indeed most published music sheets which include the lyrics have this incorrect line in them. "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" and "T-C-B" are not present in Redding's original song, but were included in some of his later performances with the Bar-Kays.

"TCB" is an abbreviation that was commonly used in the 1960s and 1970s, meaning Taking Care (of) Business, and it was particularly widely used in African-American culture. However, it was somewhat less well-known outside of that culture, yielding a possible explanation as to why it was not recognized by those who transcribed Franklin's words for music sheets.

Nice BTO reference.  TGP however is more fond of the Elvis TCB in a Flash moniker:

When did this devolve to the "I love the 70's" thread?

[BDB]

Glad it wasn't really blue suede - I didn't remember the 50s already coming back in the 70s!

Oh really?
