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?
Acromyms form words. You mean abbreviations.
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…
PDF file must be one of the Most brainrot offenders
A group of separatist rebels in the Philippines formed the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
MILF, for short.
In Berlin there’s a car hire company called “Miles” (very handy, you can book and pick up a car in minutes) and they have a bunch of vans with a “damaged” e. So now it says Milfs. Hoho.
CBT
Cock and Ball Torture and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
for me cbt means changed block tracking. I used to work on developing vm backup software
CP does not mean:
- Cyberpunk
- Club Penguin
- Cleft Palate
- Cerebral
PolicyPalsy - Conservative Party
If you’re on a Unix terminal it means “copy,” anywhere else it means what Josh Duggar is into.
cheese pizza
Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.
And in the corporate Windows world, it’s the Company Portal (essentially the inter-company App Store). I always have to type it out because I don’t like telling people to go to the CP.
I used
cp
to refer tocode pointer
at work. Got very weird looks…Cerebral Policy? We could use some of that
MTG it’s a trading card game and not some dumb ass politician.
I also see ‘meeting’ abbreviated as MTG. Which, is now what I call it when I send texts to my friends to play Magic. “Hey, got time for a MTG MTG?”
I try to pronounce it “Empty G” with a slight emphasis on the “p”.
Gotta run with the lowercase “t” to have a little distinction
I’m aging myself here, but WoW used to stand for “Winds of War”, an expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Then, World of Warcraft was released…
CNC :(
FTP: free to play, file transfer protocol
SRS: Serious, sex reassignment surgery, social responsiveness scale, etc

first time I experienced LOL was way back, Early 1990s. When AOL was still in 1.x for the Apple. My buddy and I broke into his brothers work computer and were playing around online in the chat rooms. They told us it was Loser On Line and it was a long time before I understood that wasnt what it was… those jerks
I had a kinder experience and was told LOL was Leg of Lamb. That just left me confused.
AOL: Absent, on leave
Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.
What is WAP, if not wireless application protocol?
a pop star made a popular song about it, I too was lost but someone pointed it out… Wet Ass Pussy
OMS! I don’t want to know what ass pussy is!
Leaving out the hyphen totally changed the meaning !
Ask your mom for me. She knows 😏
Wide area progressive, when slot machines across multiple casinos contribute to one combined jackpot.

I’m working with data, where we have a concept called “write, audit, publish” (also abbreviated WAP). I’m laughing on the inside everyone I hear anyone talking about it.
It’s weird seeing news articles about the SEC that have nothing to do with college football.
You mean size exclusion chromatography, surely.
The Southeastern Conference was founded in 1932. The Securities and Exchange Commission in 1934.
It’s not annoying, only quite funny, but every time I see CSM (Chainsaw Man) I can only think of Coño’e su Madre / Cocha’e su Madre (Motherfucker in Latinamerica).
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.
To be fair “SC” was replaced by “SC:BW” within like a year.
I was late to the party. The only acronym I ever used was SC2.
Agreed, Supreme Commander 2 was better than 1 anyway.
Lol, i can’t think of PoE as anything but Power over Ethernet.
bruh it’s South Carolina
For me, SC means Supreme Court and PoE means “Power over Ethernet” lol.
Nah, Supreme Court is abbreviated as SCROTUM.
Nice
Sorry, can’t read PoE as anything besides Permit Office Enforcement
PoE is power over ethernet
PoE = Portal of Evil which was a directory of weird-ass websites.

SC is soundcloud to me
POV is just not point of view anymore. In modern social media it mostly shows something where there could be a POV, but now you see it in 3rd person because people don’t care about what POV means.
