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.

        It means fuck the world. But some jerk made it for the win and ruined all my fun

        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.

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