Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 All over the television the last few days, I've seen American news shows going on and on about BLS (the Bureau of Labour Statistics. But all it makes me think about is Ball Licking and Sucking. I dont' think I could even try to NOT think about this type of 'BLS' when seeing 'BLS' written all over the television screen. I know I've had this happen before with other acronyms but can't think of any at the moment... but whenever it does happen, I love having that 'secret' meaning of the term that others don't know. This happen to anyone else? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted October 10, 2012 Yep. I saw a car the other day with a sign in the window which said "FS: 613 xxx-xxxx". Made me smile... Also, someone was looking for volunteers for CIM at work some time back. I never found out what that actually stood for. And I wasn't brave enough to volunteer and find out :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IamaGeek 3664 Report post Posted October 10, 2012 I am never sure whether I want to use an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) or not. I suppose it depends on how much I want the money. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athos 108589 Report post Posted October 24, 2012 If you are applying to go to Queen's University as an undergraduate you need to complete a PSE ... Personal Statement of Experience. They even have convenient tabs linking you to practice PSE and how to submit your PSE. (I wonder if they permit video essays).
