- "Bests" is a relic from when e-mail and text messaging was shiny and new. "Bests" meant "Best regards and best wishes" in one. This affectation was pretty popular for a while. It went out of fashion maybe 10 or 15 years ago. In other words, some day in the future, there will be a thread asking, "What did LOL used to mean?"
