In the 1970s, I temporarily relocated from Vancouver to Boston. A few days after I arrived, someone said, “After work, I'm going to take the T [subway] to BC.” I was awed by the concept of a continental mass-transit system, but puzzled. It turns out that in the Massachusetts Bay area, BC is Boston College.

Context is king.
