I had a cup of coconut sorbet and it was exceptionally delicious: creamy, flavorful, not-too-sweet. When I sat down, I noticed the blackboard that listed all the daily specials, including the 20-percent discount on rainy days and Mondays. I forgot to ask if a day was rainy and Monday, if one got a double discount. I suspect that would not be the case. I did ask about the word under the Friday listing: B.O.G.O. What the hell is a bogo, I asked the kid behind the counter.
"Buy one, get one," he said, as if I had just walked in from an alien space ship.
Remind me to bogo someday.

When I first started in the biz, I wrote up contracts for BOGO deals without even knowing what it meant. I thought it was a special shipper or something. As Owen says, it's a fine term inside the business, but I wouldn't expect any normal consumer to have any idea what it means.
I love this policy but b.o.g.o is a little too inside baseball for me. Would it kill them to write out buy one get one.
