Hi,
Everybody uses a.m. and p.m. to mean before noon and after noon, The Latin word for "midday" is meridian, from which comes the english word ante-meridian, whose short form is a.m. which means before midday. P.m. is the short form for post-meridian, meaning after midday.
VIP, Very Important Person
It is interesting that in English, the short version of Very Important Person is pronounced letter-by-letter as an abbreviation: «V-I-P». The plural form is VIPs.
