Here is a funny (actually tragic) story from my female client. She met a smart-looking guy on the internet. In his description, he wrote “MBA”.
Then she asked herself, “Ok, when I go out, I can ask him from which university he graduated.”
MBA = Master of Business Administration
This is just normal thinking.
Looking for something serious, she went out with the guy.
Then she figured out something.
This guy was actually married!
She: “Why didn’t you tell me this?!”
MBA man: “But I wrote MBA“
Then she found out the meaning of MBA.
On the internet, MBA can have another meaning. that is:
MBA = Married But Available
So MBA man was actually not looking for something serious but looking for a cheating opportunity.
Not knowing this, she got shocked and walked away.
What if the guy has actually MBA? Then this would make the life even more complicated. But this is another story.
This type of “MBA” is widely used nowadays. So next time when you encounter this term, make sure to check what kind of MBA it is.
