being in the construction field i use a lot of the same or similar acronyms that Telekinetic uses in engineering.

MOM = minutes of meeting
BOQ or BQ = Bill of Quantities
LOA= Letter of acceptance
LOI - Letter of intent
FIDIC = a type of engineering contract comonly used in europe and middle east
CVR = cost value reconciliation
RFI = request for information
RFD = request for deviation
SI = site instruction
EI = Engineers Instruction
VO = Variation order
CO= Change order
ETC = Estimate to completion
FTC=forcast to completion
EFC = estimated final cost
EFV = estimated final value

All construction, commercial or contract related obviously.

a typical example i would use is

"hey Does that VO have an EI, SI or an RFD. If Not, FIDIC wont allow you to claim VO, and i cant give you a CO"


i could go on...
