RT

Passing along tweets

RT is the abbreviation for "retweet" on Twitter/X, indicating you're sharing someone else's post to your followers: RT if you agree.

It can also mean "real talk," signaling sincerity: RT, that was the best concert I've ever seen.

In medical contexts, RT stands for respiratory therapist or radiation therapy. (Lowercase rt abbreviates "right" or "route.")
