I studied Physics at RMIT in the late sixties early seventies part time. The old Physics building was where Story Hall is now. When running long experiments one was prone to cross Swanston Street and go over to the Oxford Hotel which was just opposite to imbibe a few betwween collecting data. Nothing has changed!
We never used the the shorthand you use. It is most probably a product of shorthand induced by the pressures of the lack of time and the digital age.
