BCNU.... and YMMV as always,
Talking about inclusive and exclusive... what do BCNU and YMMV mean ?
BCNU = "I'll be seeing you". You may find it amusing to imagine Gordon with his thumb and index finger pressed together to form a circle, which is in turn held over his eye to emphasise the "seeing". Then again, you might not.
YMMV = "Your Mileage May Vary", a totally outdated saying unfit for such modern marvels as you and I. The *real* abbreviation ought to be YKMASD.
?!?!?
Heh, I guess I was a bit obscure. Whimsical mood; you know how it is.
Well, I found this one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_mileage_may_vary
That's a pretty good description. YMMV means, basically, "things may be different for you than they are for me".
"I'll be seeing you" is a phrase used by some when they say goodbye. It's equivalent to "See you later" or "Until we meet again".
The thing with the fingers was a reference to the television show /Prisoner/ or, for our younger readers, /Babylon 5/.
/me goes banana
The YKMASD thing I just made up to be funny (did it work?), and stands for Your Kilometreage May Act Slightly Differently, which is pure parody.
