Rare POA1 Posted July 9, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2021 This, I did not know. As someone who prides himself on a working proficiency in "random crap," I am both happy to learn this as well as sad that I didn't know it before. I was ready to serve up quite a few alternative acronym explanations - many of them not safe for "the children" - so I'm glad that @StLouisCruisers cleared it up for us. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not just me but @kpladyand @jimgevposted all at the same time. As @kazusaid, it's a term that's been in use on the Daily thread here on the CC Holland America board. It was coined by one of our amazing posters and we have all started to use the term. Just seems to fit! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atexsix Posted July 10, 2021 #20 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I didn't know the meaning either and would have never guessed it in a million years. Closest I got to was some type of back to back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted July 10, 2021 #25 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thank you for explaining what 'BHB' means; I never would have guessed. Not everyone reads the Daily, so if it is only a popular term there, there's no reason others would figure it out without help. Happy the question was asked in a separate thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
