CTN

CTN stands for “Can’t Talk Now.” It is an internet slang term/abbreviation used to convey that someone is currently busy or unable to engage in a conversation at that moment. It is often used as a quick response to let others know that the person is occupied and cannot participate in a discussion.

Examples:

1. Person A: Hey, are you free to chat about the project?

Person B: Sorry, CTN. I’m in a meeting right now.

2. Friend A: What’s up? Wanna hang out?

Friend B: I wish, but CTN. I’m on my way to the airport.
