About 20 years ago I got a job writing software which gave companies an online presence for bill pay applications. It wasn't THAT popular back then, so we did one off projects. I made a suggestion that we standardize the application (even if it was a "separate" application for each customer), so that our development time was cut way down. We could then just configure a bunch of settings for the particular customer installation.  Not exactly a genius idea now, but back then "software as a service" was coming into it's own.

Anyway, our "Director of IT" was a moron. She was a terrible boss, zero people skills, lied to customers constantly (one of the reasons I ended up leaving). But it was up to her to give our new product a name....

Yes, you guess it, she called it "Point of sales". I said, no way, you are not calling something I wrote "Point of sales". She didn't know why. I said "POS?? You aren't familiar with that term?". She was not.

I won't even begin to tell you what "POS" means within the LGBT community.
