Acronyms you use every day?

As I sit here, procrastinating, supposedly updating our new SOP's after a new system was installed during the week, I got to thinking, what different acronyms do Boardsies use on a daily basis?

I'll list mine below, along with the meaning.

SOP = Standard Operating Procedures
VIP = Very Important Person (You would be suprised what makes you a VIP in this hotel. But as with most hotels, the more V's, the more important the person. So if you are just a VIP, you're probably not that important afterall)
SKN = Standard King Room
STN = Standard Twin Roon
STR = Standard Triple Room
JST = Junior Suite
1ST = Executive Suite
COD = Cash on Delivery (Usually for flowers or what have you delivered for guests)
DM = Duty manager (General dogsbody of a manager. No matter what department you work in, if you are DM, you could be anywhere you are needed!)
GM = General manager. (The Boss)
DOS = Director of Sales
DSR = Daily Sales Report
etc etc etc

I should really get back to work...

my favourite when dealing with "faulty" merchandise..

rtfm = read the feckin manual

my favourite when preparing my stew recipe..

bfp = big feckin pot

my favourite when on a night out one of my friends scores and goes off with a guy..

mia = missing in action

my favourite for when a so-called faulty thing is returned to store by an irate narky customer..

"the RFcam seems to be faulty, we'll have to send it away for repair" = weeks of meaningless messing customer around ;-)

RFcam = word/part made up by work colleague years ago..

Solution = drop said faulty merchandise on floor from a height of at least two feet from floor, usually fixes the RFcam..

You are leaving yourself open for attack OP!

Someone could easily say they performed some SOP on YM in a SKN and she demanded COD because the DOS wanted to take pictures
