Abbreviation abuse

(OP)
I heard the other day from one of my colleagues that "CBA" was minuted as the reason for lack of progress on a project where he used to work (for those who don't know what "CBA" means, check it out on http://www.urbandictionary.com ).  Can anyone beat that?

RE: Abbreviation abuse

I've not been back for a long time. Has the slang over there really become that bad? I heard & used the "colloquialisms" of my day, but I don't remember them being as explicit (or in some cases just plain sick) as some at that site.

I'm glad I brought my kids to Canada.

cheers

Sorry.  I did vet the CBA page just in case and it itself contains nothing offensive.  Can't say I followed all the links on it though.
