GO BM.

That was the standard "polite" euphemism for taking a dump when I was a kid. :lol:

*Edit - I'd feel better if the one who'd set it up wasn't a native english speaker.

Years ago, the company I was working for at the time hired some efficiency goons to evaluate our processes shortly after we were purchased by a private equity firm. I was assigned the duty of participating in a "Terms and Acronyms Review Panel" to standardize the T&A we used throughout the company. The panel consisted of myself and 4 other low level managers, and I was the only male on the team. I was chastised by my fellow panel members when I suggested that our first order of business should be selecting a better name for our efforts. The T&A team went on to be one of the most ridiculed efforts of the efficiency goons.

We have a common term used around here "single topic documents." STDs! I try to avoid the acronym when discussing file transfers :)

Well, our system for registering incidents (our job list for you non ITIL-people) system are called HOVSA (basically translates to "whoops", as in what you say when you make a mistake)
