:Yes, but "between" doesn't make any sense in context where the abbreviation is actually used in the examples listed... with the exception of the [[big white face]] one, which is rather unrelated, all the usages are in places where "with" (or just "and") would be more appropriate... so the "backed with" expansion of the abbreviation fits, if odd and non-standard, while the "between" expansion doesn't fit at all. If TBC ever used "b/w" as an abbreviation for "between" in a toon, then it would be worth mentioning that on the page, but as it stands, it's not relevant. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:18, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
