Bo Staff

[JohnASE]

Relator gets to me. Nucular gets to me. There, they're, their gets to me. Bo staff, I don't mind. If nothing else, I think if it as a clarification. When you just say "bo," some people thiink "bow," as with arrows. Even when you say "staff," some people think of big walking sticks or wizard staves. "Bo staff" is less likely to be misunderstood.

Then, I start thinking about set theory. I don't actually believe bo=staff. Is bo a subset of staff? Staff is not a subset of bo. Is bo staff the intersection the set bo and the set staff?

This type of repetition with acronyms is actually called "RAS syndrome" which in itself is an example as it reads as "redundant acronym syndrome syndrome"

That's great! Love it!

Bo means stick...staff means stick...therefore when you say bo staff your saying stick stick...does that sound mature to you at all?
