Common Expressions: DP

Expressions Definition
Bergen-Belsen DP camp The British authorities tried to rename the camp Hohne to avoid the association with Nazi genocide at the concentration camp nearby, but the Holocaust survivors who were residents (Sh'erit ha-Pletah)in the camp refused to accept the name change and persisted in calling the DP camp Bergen-Belsen. (references)
DP Camp A displaced persons camp is in principle any temporary facility for displaced persons but in common usage refers to camps for individuals displaced as a result of World War II, particularly refugees from Eastern Europe. (references)
DP combo DP combo, in the sport of baseball, is a slang term for a shortstop and second basemen combination, as primary executors of double plays. They are also occasionally referred to as sackmates, a reference to the fact that they play either side of second base (also known as second sack). Generally speaking, only the best sets of middle infielders get called DP combos. As a contemporary example see Derek Jeter and Alfonso Soriano of the New York Yankees, known to be a particularly good DP combo. (references)
MC DP Through repetition of the phrase "Don't Copy That Floppy", references to computer games that were popular at the time, and a glimpse of the End of the Computer Age (where the "computer world is bleak and dark" and the "program falls through a black hole in space") MC DP reinforces the message that software piracy will cause the computer and video game industry to lose profit, resulting in halted production of further computer games.
