I read BCE as “Before the Christian Era”, and make sure I note that whenever I run across it when others are present. It pisses off Leftists / Atheists.

Actually, “BCE” and “CE” are used in Israel as a courtesy to heathens who don’t understand the actual Hebrew calendar.

BCE

I say it stands for Before Christ was Eliminated.

Seems like the long way around when a simple BC will do. Maybe they meant to say “Before Christ (was) Elevated.”
