Bend Over Here It Comes Again I learned this in the Marines. I also experienced it again when a volcano decided to erupt, delaying many orders and supplies for my BMWs. Basically it means to brace yourself for an approaching sh*t-storm.

This is a good idea for new comers as a cross reference. There's so many more but that's a good start. I think a proper name for this thread would be Acronym Soup: a guide for beginners..or something of that nature.
