BIGOT, n. One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.

AMBROSE BIERCE, page 11.

It's great for "understanding business correspondence...." but not if your boss knows what your writing. I just can't image responding to my boss with "FILK" or "RTFM". And I'd never say "ROTFLMAOPIMP" in response to one of his jokes. But I would say "WTFIGO" to his instruction. It's worth the $6.50 at BN.
