That's a stretch. Who takes the first letter of words in a sentence and try to make words from them... besides CIA cryptographers?

It's a fairly well known "prissy" way of referring to 'the c word' around here...... and everywhere, apparently, if you google it....

heard. all about that. But I learned (mostly because my kids also enjoy using the word and their teachers and coaches not so much) that this is one way people refer to it if they are uncomfortable saying it. I still cannot believe how much people here flinch when they hear it.

Re: Pretty Sure my boss is unaware....
Apparently in Australia it’s an often used word for someone they don’t like of both sexes.
I guess that’s one of the things a group like gamers, texters, hobbyists have among their group.
The story Google came up with of a lawyer saying it to an unaware CA judge. Then someone clued in the judge and she dumped on the lawyer later. Seems such a non sequitur to throw that phrase into a serious courtroom dialog, but maybe the judge noticed and mentioned it later to whoever clued her in.
