From time to time in postings to the DP forum you may see the acronym BOC, which is a reference to the phrase Boring Old Crap. The phrase is usually used to refer to projects which are unpopular with proofreaders and which move slowly through the rounds, but it is actually a quite nebulous phrase because a project that is considered boring by one proofreader could be the most interesting project in a round from another proofreader's perspective.
