I'm running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?

CP does not mean:

  • Cyberpunk
  • Club Penguin
  • Cleft Palate
  • Cerebral ~~Policy~~ Palsy
  • Conservative Party

If you're on a Unix terminal it means "copy," anywhere else it means what Josh Duggar is into.

Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.

Cerebral Policy? We could use some of that

I used cp to refer to code pointer at work. Got very weird looks...

And in the corporate Windows world, it's the Company Portal (essentially the inter-company App Store). I always have to type it out because I don't like telling people to go to the CP.
