Today I thought we’d look at acronyms that start with the letter B. Of course, the very best B Acronyms I made up (The BLKF Theory; BHE), and aren’t included, because they haven’t become widely known yet. (But soon come the day!
Or, put another way, BSCTD!) Also excluded at popular chatting shortcuts, such as BRB (Be Right Back) and BTW (By The Way).
Finally, to add a little flavor, I have split the top ten list up into two groups: those I can define, and those you will have to look up for yourself.
THE TOP FIVE CIVILIZED ACRONYMS THAT START WITH THE LETTER B
#5 BMOC (Big Man On Campus) – Though not used as often these days, the phrase still has resonance when referring (usually derogatorily) to some to some big shot.
#4 BS (Bull….) – Though technically this should go in the next list, BS is so common a phrase, it deserves a spot here.
#3 BOBFOC (Body Of Baywatch, Face of Crimewatch) – One of my favorites. Perhaps a more kind way to say it would be, “Her best feature was distance.”
#2 BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer) – Beer, as Homer said, is both the cause of, and solution to, all of Life’s problems.
And…
#1 BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato) – A classic sandwich for a soon-to-be classic list.
THE TOP FIVE B ACRONYMS THAT WOULD MAKE
#5 BJ – And somewhere Slick Willy raised his head in a Scooby Doo-like fashion.
#4 BFD – The vulgar equivalent to “Whatever.”
#3 BAMF – Samuel Jackson; we miss you.
#2 BOHICA – A staple at Delta Airlines, where I used to work. Actually, I have a feeling the employees of every big company know this all too well.
And…
#1 BFE – Someday I’m going to build a summer home there. But you can’t come.
