Over lunch, my friend and I coined a new acronym -- BOME --> bane of my existence. Going back to a discussion we had a few weeks ago, if the person is THE bane, then you can call them T-BOME. I was going to say "her T-BOME" but apart from being more grammatically correct, it seemed very un-PC, in an ironic sort of a way. NOT that I had anyone special in mind! Please help me to proliferate this word through the ether world. This is a sociological experiment but please disregard that point while you blithely, and irresponsibly add to the world's lingua interneta.
