Me too, u--I've only ever heard it as "...between keyboard and chair." And since the keyboard is a computer part, and the chair is the surprise or the punchline, it would seem logical to put C last--hence, PEBKAC.

Though, this is Wordie and we can do as we damn well please.

All depends on your point of view, uselessness.

At least the pronunciation remains the same.

I've always heard the second part reversed: PEBKAC.

Actually an acronym for "problem exists between chair and keyboard." There's nothing wrong with your computer--it's all about you.
