I’m running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?

CP does not mean:

  • Cyberpunk
  • Club Penguin
  • Cleft Palate
  • Cerebral Policy Palsy
  • Conservative Party

If you’re on a Unix terminal it means “copy,” anywhere else it means what Josh Duggar is into.

And in the corporate Windows world, it’s the Company Portal (essentially the inter-company App Store). I always have to type it out because I don’t like telling people to go to the CP.

I’m working with data, where we have a concept called “write, audit, publish” (also abbreviated WAP). I’m laughing on the inside everyone I hear anyone talking about it.

I love how someone uploaded a video titled “Virgin asshole destroyed by BBC” to pornhub, and it was a video of Ben Shapiro losing his shit after badly failing at debating one of the BBC hosts.

Those of a vintage beyond even my own will know that it stands for “Broken Biscuit Company”, which I believe originated on BBC radio with The Goon Show. Now that’s not an acronym, but it is another word that’s picked up an unfortunate extra meaning in recent years.

Not annoyed but amused. I suffer from IBS. And in my work there are Internal Business Systems. So I suffer from IBS twice.
