We've all seen the prominent drugstore chain known as CVS; at least, those of us who live in civilized nations have.

My question is simple: what does the acronym stand for? Google yields no clues, and the closest I've gotten is 'Commercial Vending Services', via Dictionary.com's Acroynm Finder. Is that correct, or is it something else?

Consumer Value Stores.

Also stands for Carrier Vessel, ASW

Is this a chain of stores on the east coast? Ive never seen one.

Cunnilingus Very Satiating

Concurrent Version System, IIRC...

Dontcha mean Satisfying?

I thought it meant :

Criminally Valuable Store
or

Carpetmunching's Very Satisfying

For a pharmacy?

Yes I worked there for nine months

Never heard of the place. My guess: Customers Value Sex.

Top listing for that acronym on the site Phong linked to.

I only know CVS as Concurrent Versioning system

It's sometimes even helpful

Cure for Virgin Syndrome. It's a drugstore, they sell condoms, Duh!

Thats the only one I know.




I've never heard of a store called CVS.

I know both Current Versioning System and the drugstore. Both are about on par. So when I think of CVS, I think of something that Linux hacks use or place were rednecks by drugs and KY jelly. (Yes, I'm a Microsoft man!)

I've seen them. Next time my grandmother visits one for her daily supply of...everything in the store (drugs are bad, health food is good, mmkay? - the church said so ), I will go with and ask wtf the name stands for.

Consider buying Very much Stuff from us?

The one down on 12 Mile and John R. used to be an Arbhor Drugs, then it turned into a CVS. At about the same time, the empty lot across the street turned into a Walgreens.

That took me like two seconds to find out.

And, of course, Col. Crackpot knew all along.
