Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speechβ€”you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

PICNIC. problem in chair, not in computer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I always know it as a PBCAK error (problem between chair and keyboard)

It's PEBCAK, problem exists between keyboard and chair. Rolls right off the tongue.

Alternatively: ID 10T

Although not an acronym, I prefer to reference this as a 'meatware' issue

If it's networking related, I like "Layer 8 Issue"

Ha, I always knew this concept as PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair.

I do kinda like saying "the actual issue was a PICNIC."
