The Acronym "WIP"

Oliveman · Dec 6, 2006

Ok well I've started to get to know the whole "culture" of the forums, and one of the Acronyms I've seen in almost every post and in many signatures, is "WIP". Now I know it means "Work In Progress", but it comes too close to "whip" to avoid connotations of the WIP whipping the author relentlessly till the WIP is finally finished and gets to RIP (another bad one). I was just wondering if anyone can come up with other creative acronym alternatives to this one we have grown to use all the time.

And I've already come up with "BIK" (Book in progress), which isn't much better.

Be creative!

By the way, BIC = Butt in Chair (see the "Learn Writing with Uncle Jim" thread).

BIK is too similar to BIC.

And you will never get people to change their acronym habits. You just won't

CB - current book, or CP - current project. Or PIP - project in progress (for those whose WIP is really giving them the PIP).

I need to save my creativity for the work. I have a finite supply and the stores are low.

It must have something to do with the 'creativity' Oliveman was looking for. Creative spelling?
