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
Cock and Ball Torture and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
for me cbt means changed block tracking. I used to work on developing vm backup software
A group of separatist rebels in the Philippines formed the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
MILF, for short.
PDF file must be one of the Most brainrot offenders
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 :(
I use dbt at work, meaning both data build tool, as well as dialectic behavioural theory
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?”
Gotta run with the lowercase “t” to have a little distinction
I try to pronounce it “Empty G” with a slight emphasis on the “p”.
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.
Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.
Cerebral Policy? We could use some of that
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
cpto refer tocode pointerat work. Got very weird looks…cheese pizza
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…
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
Isis used to be the fake spy agency Archer worked for. Damn those middle-eastern radicals stealing the name!
Before that, Isis was an Egyptian goddess and a hot superhero with crossovers to Shazam
Right? Archer’s Isis didn’t replace those, just made them more Accessable
Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.
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.
What is WAP, if not wireless application protocol?
Moist butt cat
MoistCr1tikal?
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.
LETS GO GAMBLING!!!
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.
Not annoyed but amused. I suffer from IBS. And in my work there are Internal Business Systems. So I suffer from IBS twice.
SRS/GRS is absolutely everywhere as an acronym. It stands for Sex/Gender Reassignment Surgery
HRT too (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
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.
Hey, that’s my job
- Part time job
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.
