since I can't spare the time (and I lack the patience) to waste on videos when I can be almost certain I won't be able to follow them at all.

I merely wanted to know what "TBD" meant!

I finally found an article on Crooks and Liars that explained what was in the video, and that "TBD" meant "to be determined." The OP (or any of the responders who kept telling me to watch the video, which I would not be able to hear) could just as easily have told me what "TBD" meant instead of my having to hunt for an article that explained its meaning--not to mention the time spent responding to hearing people who just cannot comprehend what a pain in the neck it is to be excluded from a shared joke just because of one's handicap.

All I asked was that someone cut me a break and explain the initialism to me.
