There is an American boy band called “Mindless Behavior” that is sometimes referred as MB on social media. But when it comes to TikTok, most users use “MB” when they mean “maybe”, “my bad” or megabyte (if the TikTok video is about storage).

If you look up the meaning of MB in Urban Dictionary, the website agrees that it is just short for “my bad”.

a shorter version of My bad
Joe: ur a b*tch
Sally: No im not
Joe: Oh ok mb

Another meaning Urban Dictionary provides is –

MB: (Medium Boto)- Someone who evolved from “SB” (Small Boto) to “MB”. A “MB” has more than 1 chic and wants to lose their v-card to any girl, but no one wants to fck him.
MB: “I like lose my v-card before I leave .”
C1: “Why?”
MB: “Cause I like practice before I come there.”
C1: “What about c2, thas yo chic.”
MB: “Naw, she’s just another girl, I still finna talk to her tho for practice .”

(Here, v-card means virginity and boto means penis in Filipino)
