  • Actually an acronym for "problem exists between chair and keyboard." There's nothing wrong with your computer--it's all about you.

  • I've always heard the second part reversed: PEBKAC.

  • All depends on your point of view, uselessness.

    At least the pronunciation remains the same.

  • Me too, u--I've only ever heard it as "...between keyboard and chair." And since the keyboard is a computer part, and the chair is the surprise or the punchline, it would seem logical to put C last--hence, PEBKAC.

    Though, this is Wordie and we can do as we damn well please.
