PICNIC. problem in chair, not in computer.
I always know it as a PBCAK error (problem between chair and keyboard)
It's PEBCAK, problem exists between keyboard and chair. Rolls right off the tongue.
Alternatively: ID 10T
Although not an acronym, I prefer to reference this as a 'meatware' issue
If it's networking related, I like "Layer 8 Issue"
Ha, I always knew this concept as PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair.
I do kinda like saying "the actual issue was a PICNIC."
