I discovered an acronym today that is used by IT support types to indicate that the problem is with the user rather than the computer – PEBCAC, or ‘problem exists between computer and chair’. An alternative version is PEBCAK, or ‘problem exists between keyboard and chair’.
Related acronyms I found in the Urban Dictionary include PEBE, or ‘problem exists between ears’; PEBLARE, or ‘problem exists between left and right ear’, and PEBKAF, or ‘problem exists between keypad and floor’ (used by security companies to describe user error).
Have you heard or used any of these? Or any related ones?
