If not I'm suggesting it as an abbreviation for At The Next Opportunity and ATEO for At The Earliest Opportunity.  |

We already have ASAP. I don't see the need for another one.

Society Opposed to Acronymic Proliferation. LMAO. Instant classic.  But then you'd have to compete with Sociopathic Organization for Acronymic Persuasion....

You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later. - M.H.

ASAP and ATEO are obsolete, both really mean you want it NOW - - BDAT is much better, By Date And Time.
for example if i ask for Pies ASAP, i might not get it right away.....
but with BDAT at least I know when to expect it...

Just go on, but know you might end up with this thread in one of my linguistics classes!
