Considering this, and as Chicago whines1 about Oprah shutting down Michigan Avenue for the performance of the Peas...is that correct usage?... Wikipedia, which is, of course, never wrong, says its correct to abbreviate to BEP, which I will now do.

Not because of any great love of Fergie and will.i.am -- though I will grant you that many of their hooks are contagious, so is H1N1 -- but because I want to make a poster with construction paper, markers, and lots of glitter that says simply:
THANK YOU FOR
PUNCHING PEREZ HILTON
IN THE FACE

Fortunately, the Internet can help you fake anything
