In the context of online chat and text messaging, "BC" is commonly used as an abbreviation for because. It's a shorthand way to quickly convey the reason for something.
Here's a breakdown:
- Meaning: Because
- Usage: Primarily in informal online communication (chat, text messages, social media).
- Purpose: To save time and effort by shortening the word "because."
Examples:

Alternatives:
While "BC" is common, other abbreviations with similar meaning or context are sometimes used:
