Heh. That's one of the most obscure nits that I've ever seen picked.

Well, I do say, my good fellow, one can tell the quality of one's 
cohorts by the discernment, as well as perspicuity and perspicacity, of 
their stychomythia. Precision and detail do so effectively separate one 
from the incognoscenti.

And I say, I mean, I _really_do_say_, couldn't you have prevailed upon 
your man to toddle off to fetch the ready wampum? Disturbing the zen of 
a sunny Sunday lie-in is so very plebeian, don't you agree?

I know.  So make up one for that.  You are now in charge of made-up
numbers for quotations.

Could very well be; I first encountered it about 50 years ago.

This is our music from the bachelor's den, the sound of loneliness
turned up to ten. A harsh soundtrack from a stagnant waterbed and it
sounds just like this. This is the sound of someone losing the plot
making out that they're OK when they're not. You're gonna like it, but
not a lot. And the chorus goes like this...

I think it's spelled "phat" in that instance, no?

1.30p could mean many things without context. 1.30pm means it is a time
even without context.

Sure: "your appointment is tomorrow at 1.30p" you have enough context to
know that the "p" is actually "pm".  But without the context, you don't
really know what it means.

Actually:  Automatic Teller Machine.

In Canada, banks did not wish to imply those machines were replacing
bank tellers, so they went out of their way to refer to those as ABM
(automated banking machines).  But public uses ATM. (Last time I used
one of those, it had been such a long time that I forgot the order of
operations and really had to read the screen).

Many people simply call them "money machines" or "hole in the wall".

I've never used one and don't have an account card that works in them
(other than perhaps my credit card at an over-bloated cash fee).
