There's a whole set of pages at the internal HP website whose sole purpose is to help HP employees decipher acronyms (no sample usage though). I can't understand half the acronyms my colleagues are using around me. But I've been assured that I'm sure to pick up the "HP lingo" over time.
"COB" is the latest acronym I've learned. It wasn't on the online glossary so I had to ask Jessie about it. "COB" isn't an HP-specific term and it stands for "Close Of Business", or the time when business usually shuts down for the day, which roughly translates to "5 PM".
Is "5 PM" really that hard to say?
P.S. "COB" stands for a lot of other things too.
