Actually, I believe BCE stands for "before common era".

No, it stands for Before Christian Era, as I tell anyone who is adamant about the issue....

(Hint - It's a joke)

No, it is a phrase that is about 20 years old that I know, and it is COMMON ERA

people left out Christian to avoid openly offending Christians. The first places I saw it printed were Archeologist magazines

You all are wrong, wrong, wrong!
It stands for Before Clinton Era.
Prior to the Blue Dress of Sainted Memory.
Also prior to the descent of the WON. MHBP!
