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.

    FTW. For years I thought it meant “Fuck The What”. Even now that’s the first thing that comes to mind and have a hard time remembering the actual meaning.

      There’s also FTFY, which I thought was a way of throwing offence at the topic and the person that brought it up

        What else is it supposed to be?

        • fear the whales - because sharks are not enough.
        • ferry the warriors - how else will they reach Hades?
        • fuck the West - yes, I had to politicise this.
        • feed the woodpeckers - hipster version of granny throwing popcorn to the pigeons.
        • feel the wetness - this is sounding like porn already.
