Now what the hell does that mean? Is that some rap thing? I'm afraid your hip "street" lingo has not made it to my part of the outer inner loop.

See paragraphs 5.77 through 5.82 of the Chicago Manual of Style. No spaces on either side. Y'all please use the em-dash acoordingly.

And, on a related note, my friend whose initials are either TB or TCB post-marriage has decided to go with TCB as the less offensive initials sign-off. If it were me, I would have either kept the maiden name or stopped signing off with initials. And yes, she knows what TCB means, it isn't just for the FB you know. |

"Taking Care of Babysitter".
It's funny how everyone misunderstood exactly what kind of movie was being requested. |

Probably a bad example, 'cuz I've never actually encountered either. |

That was a long damned time ago -- I remember the office I was sitting in when that term was coined, and it was 3 offices, and at least 6 or 7 years ago (is that possible?!?)

I am sure that someone has already answered this, but it stands for "Taking Care of Business." (I think that it is in the FAQ at the other place, although I could be wrong, and I am too lazy to check.)
The expression first popped-up (uh, sorry) on my radar screen during pepper's confession of engaging in a little bit of self-love in her office. I don't think that that could have been seven years ago. Maybe four. |

I saw Kill Bill Vol.2. Much better than the first installment. I highly recommend it, especially if you like QT flicks.

No, no, it was a reference to Microsoft Word, TM being a big Bill Gates fan and all.
This really needs a picture.
ETA: After rereading this, my own post, I have to say 'whiff'.

QT/ Quick Tan? Doesn't that turn you orange? Why would you want to use that on people in a movie?
