I’m running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?
CBT - Clifford Brick Transport. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Cock Ball torture.
Cannabis CBT and in turn THC, that’s all I know the CBT acronym for
I think you’re thinking of CBD
Central business district?
BLM
Especially since the Bureau of Land Management is regularly talked about in my field.
I have no issue with the civil rights movement tho
Due to anti-DEI policies the agency is now called All Land Management
BARREN LANDS MATTER !
SWIFT is not a programming language it’s a trading protocol that runs the global financial markets which I’m working very hard to forget but still it deserves respect.
OK, I’ll bite. Pedant time.
“BSD” isn’t an acronym. It’s an initialism.
Acronyms are pronounced as a words rather than reading the letters, and, well, you’d be beatboxing if you pronounced BSD as a word.
Isn’t an initialism a subcategory of acronym by definition?
Other way around. Acronyms are a subcategory of initialisms, specifically the ones that can be read as if they’re words.
It’s not pronounced buzzed? I’ve been saying Freebuzzed wrong all this time???
Nobody dared telling you.
If you ever have doubts how other stuff is pronounced, just axman.
Hey, that’s my job

DP is Diet Pepsi
Dr. Pepper
Therapy be wild taking CBT for cognitive behavioral therapy when it’s been cock and ball torture for so, so long.
“Therapist said I needed CBT. I just walked out. That dude’s fucking crazy if he thinks Imma smash my nuts.”
My shop we sell cheese and bacon traveller pies, abbreviated to CBT…
FTP: free to play, file transfer protocol
SRS: Serious, sex reassignment surgery, social responsiveness scale, etc
LOL: laugh out loud, lots of love, loot or lie
Not annoyed, but i enjoy annoying red hats by taking about how much I appreciate BLM. As soon as they start spouting off I start talking about how we camped on Bureau of Land Management land out west and it was great.
Alternatively, how Brennan Lee Mulligan is a great GM
Also Game Master > General Motors
The Linux Kernel has a specific one, whereby DRM doesn’t mean Digital Rights Protection, only thing I could think of.
I remember being annoyed when PS2 suddenly was a gaming console and not a line of personal computers from IBM.
Yes, I know it’s PS2 vs. PS/2 when written out, but no one ever says PS-slash-2 when speaking.
i thought you were talking about the old mouse and keyboard connectors
Not annoyed but amused. I suffer from IBS. And in my work there are Internal Business Systems. So I suffer from IBS twice.
Apparently BBC no longer means Big Black Chicken
I love how someone uploaded a video titled “Virgin asshole destroyed by BBC” to pornhub, and it was a video of Ben Shapiro losing his shit after badly failing at debating one of the BBC hosts.
All the time. Like at some point SC stopped meaning StarCraft and started meaning Splinter Cell. And don’t let me get started about the famous roleplaying game PoE. Yes, or course I mean Pillars of Eternity and not Path of Exile.
For me, SC means Supreme Court and PoE means “Power over Ethernet” lol.
Sorry, can’t read PoE as anything besides Permit Office Enforcement
So many people think Mac is an acronym for whatever reason, as in “Do you use MAC or PC?”.
I don’t know why they think this. It was never formatted that way in any of Apple’s marketing materials.
It really annoys me. In my head when I read it I hear “MAC” pronounced in the voice of Gilbert Godfrey.
I’m guessing they’re confusing it with MAC addresses? They probably saw the term somewhere and wrongly assumed it had something to do with Apple Macs.
Macintosh Apple Computer
MAC stands for MAC Apple Computer. It’s a recursive acronym.
DNF: Disjunctive normal form, Dandified YUM
It’s Did Not Finish in racing
I put DNF stickers on items around the house, to remind myself that not everything exists for sexual gratification.
