It's just that I had seen it written as "DO" so many times, I figured it stood for something. My best guess was...
...Drinking Opportunity!

I think you found the true definition as it applies to FT.

Well, certainly in choosing among the synonyms "party," "do," "rave," "affair," "event," "fiesta," etc., someone may have been subconsciously influenced by the appropriateness of the acronym!
"Drinking Opportunity" indeed!

I would think that wouldn't be too far from some of us not being able to resist the urge to look underneath hanging pictures in the Seattle RCC to see if a certain two-dimensional FTer is still hanging out in the conference room!

What's a DO?
On this board I've seen talk of a "SIN DO," a "UA DO," and a "March DO."
What's a DO?
It's not in the glossary, and the term is too short for a forum search!

A DO on Flyertalk refers to a 'party/get together' somewhere in the world.
ie. The SEADO takes place annually in Seattle. You can keep up with these things by reading the Community forum.
All are invited to attend these functions.

In English, a "Do" also means a party.
What goes on beyond the cameras is a secret (there are some Do photos posted various places)
