TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
re: BO is an important acronym these days, and to technical folks it means
"Business Object". Maybe it's generational, but whenever I
use/hear/write/read the acronym BO, I immediately flash back to summer camp,
where BO (Body Odor) was NC (Not Cool).
I think if you're even older, "BO" helps recall the Dick Tracy comic strip
character B. O. Plenty. This likely predates any usage of "cool" and is
probably (c). Clearly it's OT (not to be confused with BMW's usage of OT on
my motorcycle, where it means TDC).
