On the internet, I have seen this acronym used to pronounce something to be 'constipated' I suppose would be the polite word......and also for other even less savoury phrases too. Which was why I asked for clarification.

Yes, in the past I have used acronyms without first putting the full terminology(mea culpa).
The most recent being ENT in relation to Nursing.....now I don't know any phrase or slang which could be misconstrued as anything other than Ear, Nose and Throat.
I suppose that imagined1 has trawled through all my posts(so he really hasn't had much time to posy anything here has he?) to check on how many times I have committed this sin(as I said, I am not perfect).

I try very hard not to criticise other peoples failings when it comes to spelling and grammar. I know full well that if you criticise such things, your own posts will be subjected to forensic scrutiny....and anyway, I am so over having Accyweb as my English homework.
