Have you ever noticed that human beings are a tad lazy? I have. Mostly my son when I want him to vacuum the living room – but I’ve observed it in a few others. Even myself from time-to-time, if you can believe it.
I’m convinced that the fine art of procrastination was where the acronym first came from.
For one thing, it wasn’t two days after my daughters and I had come up with the name “Princess YellowBelly Designs” for our new fabric art and quilting endeavor that we were saying “PYB.”
By now we’re so used to our little pet name that we almost never bother to use the real name for our own business – and we’d almost forgotten that “PYB” might possibly stand for some other things.
Can you think of any?
PYB On Everything, Hold the Designs
It was; “have you opened a hosting account for PYB?” Or, “I think we should make a PYB Facebook.”
At first we nobly kept to “Princess YellowBelly” in public. But, by the time we opened for business we’d already shortened the URL to www.pybdesigns.com, I mean – who’s got the time to type the other URL: www.princessyellowbellydesigns.com into anything? Not me, that’s for sure.
Designs has gotten more than a little misplaced in all this acronyming – which is fine.
But, the other day, Suzanna was talking to some friends, and she apparently said something “for PYB.”
“What’s PYB?” one friend, who’d forgotten the details, asked. Venkat, another of Suzanna’s friends and a newsletter subscriber, knew the right answer – but supplied a more interesting one:
“Peanut Yogurt Bread,” he promptly replied.
