PEBCAK

Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

(Afflicts an awful lot of my users!)

UTB

User Talking B*ll*cks

(Yep, that too)

We generally describe them (occasionally to their faces) as suffering from the ID Ten T (ID10T) error...

I'm showing my age a bit. IIRC it's an old IBM in-joke that got out into the wild.

TLA = Three Letter Acronym

It's been around for so long it is now applied to acronynms of any number of letters.

Jose,

Can't find FUBAR in the list. It's a very common one on korg.
It's daily business for all network users so admins got something to do between the coffee breaks

Actually IBM is one also
We have had some IBM users shouting this time after time about having to work on an older IBM system and not getting a new one when almost everyone else did.

IBM = I've Been Mislead

Well FUBAR is missing then. Any guess?

FUBAR = Feeling under barbiturate analgesic range ?
In other words feeling stoned.
