"PJB"? Can't we just use his initials? Is there something wrong with JRB? JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #11

That type of designation came on at DU with Barack Obama, aka BO. Right? So he became PBO. Hekate Apr 2023 #17

Right. Because BHO would have acknowleged his middle name, Hussein. JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #20

You were here at the time, I think. Did you fight the trend? Hekate Apr 2023 #33

"Fight the trend"? no, but I did beat my head against the same wall JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #145

OR (just spitballing), we could call him President Biden. brooklynite Apr 2023 #24

Charging by the acronym could actually be lucrative here though. littlemissmartypants Apr 2023 #35

There's nothing wrong with "PJB". We use initials all the time around here. oldsoftie Apr 2023 #103
