Re: It sounds like B.O. (m)
That's a bit strange because in the 10 years I've lived in the UK, I've never, ever encountered the term "B.O." meaning "body odour."
Then again, if you pronounced Beo like bay-o or be-o (not bee-o), that association would be shifted away a bit.~I luv London Tipton 'cause she's an idiot like moi~My pinool: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/149249

Well, some people may only hear the term "B.O." one or two times in their lifes (me included) and some like you and insane romantic may hear it quite often.I'm not sure if it's used most in London and the south and I'm not sure if it's used more commonly than I thought it would be in my part of the country (Cambridgeshire). It, sort of, depends on where you are or it could depend on something else.
