EOT

What does EOT stand for in online discussions?

End of thread

People often use "EOT" in online discussions to declare that a conversation, or at least a particular point, has reached its conclusion. When someone posts "EOT," they signal that they believe nothing more needs to be said, or that their message is so final, no reply is necessary. It's like saying, "Case closed," especially in long or heated message chains on forums, Reddit, or group chats.

The term has existed since the early days of Internet message boards and Usenet groups, but it became more common in the 2000s as online communities grew. People often use it alongside or in place of similar acronyms like EOD, but "EOT" is more focused on the thread structure itself—essentially saying, "Let's not keep replying to this."

Example

Can you believe Mark still thinks pineapple belongs on pizza?
We’ve been over this a million times. It’s all personal preference
Yeah, but he brought it up again in the group chat like it’s some bold new take
I replied with a GIF of Gordon Ramsay crying and said “Let people eat what they want.”
Perfect response. Honestly… EOT
