An acronym from Reddit's r/AmITheAsshole (AITA) subreddit, standing for 'You're The Asshole' — the verdict delivered by the community when they judge the original poster to be in the wrong in a described conflict. It's one of several verdict labels used on the sub (alongside NTA, ESH, NAH, INFO). 'YTA' has leaked beyond Reddit into broader internet usage as a general shorthand for calling out someone's bad behaviour in a conflict or interpersonal dispute. It's direct, punchy, and carries a community-judgement feel.
I read the whole post and honestly? YTA — you can't cancel on someone's birthday dinner with two hours' notice.

A Reddit acronym meaning You're the Asshole, used as the negative verdict on the r/AmITheAsshole subreddit where users submit interpersonal conflict scenarios for community judgment. YTA has escaped Reddit into wider internet usage as a shorthand for declaring that someone is clearly in the wrong in a social situation. It carries the weight of collective community judgment. The verdict system — YTA vs. NTA (Not the Asshole) — has become a widely recognized framework for summarizing interpersonal moral assessments online.
The top comment simply said YTA and had forty thousand upvotes before anyone else had finished reading the post.
