That's funny, I always thought it meant "Body Odor". : )
He must be from Europe. Just like how people over there spell "Flavour" or "theatre". I was just shocked by the original poster who did not know what B.O. was. I thought that was universal slang. Just like how everybody knows P.O., right? Uh, everybody knows what this means, right????
The same question has been asked at least a couple times before, too. Must be an Americanism.
Americanism? Or capitalism? :-)

Not so. I'm from the UK and have been familiar with BO meaning Body Odour since I was a young child (20 years+ ago)
