I am finally writing after a break of a couple of months. Life has been a bit hectic here at IIMB, hectic but fun. There is so much happening around here that you rarely get time. No, its not all about the academics.
Now there are a few commonly used words here which have become a part of our day to day lives. So, here comes the IIM-Lingo:
CP - Short for class participation, noting too great
ACP - Arbit CP, i.e when a person is asked to speak or has the urge to speak in class without any valid points, so, it ends up being a conglomerate of 6-7 sentences stitched together which ultimately has little or no meaning in the context of what is taking place in the class.
DCP - Desperate CP, takes place when a person desperately wants to speak in class and takes even the slightest of opportunities or a break in the prof sentence to start speaking. The typical characteristic of people having this unique quality is the consistency of the number of times they speak in class.
Footage - It is the term given for the people who want to be visible in the eyes of the prof as well as the class. CP,ACP and DCP may be tools for the same. It may also consist of doing weird stuff in class like wise-cracks, or being caught sleeping (although almost no one is caught sleeping, that is an art most people have mastered or the profs simply dont care)
Placecom - A group of sadistic people who take pleasure in the fact that they can make people work hard, harder than any subject makes any student work. Characterized by their in-born dislike of white spaces on paper (not due to environmental reason though).
NC - Night Canteen, the lifeline of the institute along with Athicas. Serves nocturnal creatures like us and helps s to survive the late nights.
DML - The official full form is Director's merit list, and it is a kind of taunt that people have to suffer if they get even above average marks in any single subject. To get rid of this stigma, people have to perform considerable badly the next time.
This is all I can think of currently. I will definitely come up with my analysis of the 1st trimester courses pretty soon. So, wait for it.

Hehe... funny! :)
We used to have similar ones during JEE preparations:
HLL: High Level Language, like when you ask a question and the instructor's answer is some tech gibberish. e.g. Carbon has valency 4 due to 'hybridization.'
TER: Total External Reflection, when your attention is focused on the cricket match in the ground outside the class or the cute girl on the first row... :P
OHT: Over-Head Transmission, when the lecture is simply beyond your intellectual capacity... Used to happen a lot in Organic Chemistry classes! :D
