I go straight to tail blow out when reading it and when speaking I just say tail blow out as I try not to speak in text/acronyms if possible.

I would assume most people would say "tail blow out"

You wouldn't say "fibble" when talking about heads without flybars would you?

TBO is first and foremost an aviation term meaning: Time before overhaul.

For example a piston engine on a light aircraft may have a TBO of around 2000 hours.

For most of us RC heli guys our parts probably dont make it to TBO due to crashing.
