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.

    I have a weird thing where I’ll know an acronym that’s close to another one, confuse the two, and come up with a new acronym that doesn’t exist or make sense, but it “works” and then the rest of the context is just off.

    The latest victim of this is “Assigned Cis At Birth”

    Now that that’s out in the world, I’m sorry that someone else is going to do the same thing…

      I do the same thing. My brain kept misinterpreting ACAB for a while and usually slotted in “cat” for some reason until I figured out what it meant

      Bahahaha

      I spent a few moments trying to figure out why anyone would need “Assigned Cis At Birth” as an acronym, since it seems…redundant. Then I figured out what you meant.

      For me this one is “ofc” which people use to mean “of course” but my brain always says “of fucking course.”
