CYA

CYA is an internet slang term that stands for “Cover Your Ass.” It means to take precautions or actions in order to protect oneself from potential negative consequences or blame.

Examples:

1. In a group chat:
– Person A: “Hey guys, please make sure to finish your parts of the project by tomorrow.”
– Person B: “Sure, I will do that. CYA, I’ll send you mine tonight.”

2. On an online forum:

• User1: “I had a terrible experience with this product. It didn’t work at all!”
• User2: “Did you read the user manual or contact customer support?”
• User1: “No, I didn’t. Guess I should have CYA before complaining.”
