An [Acronym] with many meanings:

!!! CarbonCopy

In ElectronicMail addressing a CarbonCopy recipient is sent a copy of the message and all other parties are (potentially) aware of that they have been sent a copy.

!!! [C] [Compiler]

In [Unix] tradition, the [C] [Compiler] binary is called __cc__[1], and among the MakefileVariables, there's one called [CC] which stores the name of the [C] [Compiler] to use. On a [Linux] system, __cc__ is almost always a link to [GCC].

!!! Credit Card

A small piece of plastic that lets you spend money you don't have.

----
[1] - although, on some proprietary [UNIX] OperatingSystems (*cough*[Solaris]*cough*), __cc__ is a shell script that prints out something to the effect that you have not paid for the additional software development component of the system.
