S&B Acronym?
I feel stupid because I see S&B all over the place here, and have NO idea what it means... assume something like a "Home", but it's not in the Acronym list, and have had no luck googling it...
Being from the computer industry, I've seen a lot of them, but can't figure this one out... Anyone help out with that one? Sticks & Bones? Sticks and Bricks? Bricks and Mortar? LOL

I appreciate some of the less known acronyms decoded on their first usage. A touch of dyslexia doesn't help much either.

That's "S & B", not to be confused with "S & M" :->

Don't forget "ay"
Means: yes, affirmative, yea, assent.
Don't want our Canadian brothers from another mother to feel left out.
