Brick and Mortar, as in the physical store. Meaning driving to Office Depot as opposed to ordering online from OfficeDepot.com.

Brick & Mortar. Or a physical store that you can visit in person and not only on hte web.

Holy redundancy batman!

That was a lot of quick answers.

That's kind of annoying... I mean, if I were to walk into a meeting place and one of my first comments was "What the f--- does this mean?" I would expect to be looked down upon for that action.

Just a pet peeve I guess, but to see new people post wrecklessly and thoughtlessly gets to me sometimes.

Off my soapbox,

CK

Where did the term B&M come from... why not "Instore" or "local" or "Not online" ???

Maybe in addition to the forum rules and other posts that are permanently tagged to the top of the forums there should be a FAQ explaining common terminology such as B&M... it seems like people ask it sooooooo often.

Hey, junior. Just a couple of quick tips: The "Hot Deals" forum people are merciless. If you have a question post it in the "Off Topic" forum and you'll get answered just as quickly, without as much hassle. Second, just about any question you can think of has already been answered a zillion times, so check out the 'Search' feature, especially if you're thinking of posting a hot deal. If you think this is bad, wait until you end up reposting something that's already been listed. Welcome to the forums.

I think a lexicon is not a bad idea. I am a newby and kinda scratch my head at some of the things I see that are not in gerneral distribution like CSR although I do know WTF and WWF and other things my Mom told me not to learn or repeat.
