What is your least favourite acronym? (lemmy.nz)

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.

It bothers me when OO doesnt stand for "object oriented"

I'm more bothered when it does!

Wait, what else does it stand for?

Looking at an acronym finder, I see a bird, “omega”, Object Oriented

It also lists Olive Oil, but but who cares about plain olive oil, we only want to be trendy for EVOO
