I retired from 40 years in my previous job complaining about the number of acronyms that had crept into everyday use.
Please can somebody tell me what IIRC and BOIH mean.
Some education I had!!!

Hm?.....and there was I thinking that in 'text talk', IIRC was an abreviation for ''If I recall correctly'' ?
