Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.
Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.
IANAL but you should RTFM because PEBKAC.
(IANAL is my favorite ever acronym because it’s funny dammit… I was just looking for an excuse to sneak it in somewhere in this thread. RTFM is a fine acronym but I have such a negative association with it because it’s almost exclusively used by assholes. PEBKAC is just an elitist acronym whenever not used ironically.)
Every time that I see this acronym I’m tempted to pronounce it as ['rʲefkas], then I remember “ah, it isn’t Cyrillic”.
Would that mean anything if it were?
No, but simply looking for something and then remembering that it doesn’t exist makes me feel stupid.
