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.
Mine are “lol” and “lmao”. I get what they originally meant, and I get why most people use them nowadays. It’s just that they often signal “I have nothing to contribute, but still expect people to read my crap”.
As a second (third?) place, “WYSIWYG”. If you’re going to coin such verbose acronym, might as well sub it with an actual word, like, dunno, “transparent”.
EDIT - “lol” = “lots of laughs”, “lmao” = “laughing my arse off”, “WYSIWYG” = “what you see is what you get”.
EDIT2: as another poster correctly pointed out, “lol” also originally meant “laughing out loud”. Perhaps even more than “lots of laughs”.
I actually kinda love WYSIWYG because it’s pronounced “wizzy-wig” in some circles and that always makes me chuckle
