I overheard a new phrase at the office today. Someone requested a courtesy copy to an email. I'd always called it a carbon copy (CC) and blind carbon copy (BCC), but perhaps I've been wrong all these years.

You're right. I've never heard of a "courtesy copy."

Interesting! I guess it's one of those changing acronyms. Kind of like DVD -- used to stand for "Digital Video Disc" when it first came out. Now it's "Digital Versatile Disc" because with DVD-Rs you can put a lot more than just video on a DVD.
