Be cool

BC stands for "be cool," a phrase that means "stay calm" or "calm down." A broseph might tell you to BC when you're stressing over something or look like you might freak out. Or, someone you are having a confrontational conversation with might tell you to BC in hopes of de-escalating a tense situation.

If someone tells you to BC, you may want to take a few deep breaths, count to 10, and remind yourself that YOLO. Whatever you're worked up or nervous about, it's likely NBD.

Back cover

BC is an acronym referring to the back cover of a book up for sale on eBay and other online sales sites. The back cover may contain images, text, or both about an author, book reviews, etc.

For example, you may be perusing a book for sale online, and the description says, "See BC for more information about the author." Or, you might message a potential buyer, "Here's a pic of the book's bc."

The BC acronym is somewhat obscure. Therefore, people who use it will likely confuse others unless they are very familiar with book sales and auction sites.

Example

Used book for sale! See BC below Will check it out!
