What is your least favourite acronym?
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.

I hate LFG because gamers can't agree on how to spell it or what it means... Sometimes it's spelled LFP, LFF or LFM... And sometimes it means "Looking for Guild".
Isnt LFM looking for member? Like if you have part of a group already together and just need a healer lets say. I'd say its different than LFG which in my mind is a player looking for a group
It does sometimes mean that though it's more common to see it as just trying to assemble a group. If you're looking for more you'll usually use something like LF1M, LF2M etc...
That's not the experience I have. People will be scolded in chat for using LFM when they have no party already.
LFM is more often "looking for more".
If it's looking for one specific member, that's normally specific: LF1M, etc.
Let's Fucking Go! Let's Fucking Play! Let's - oh wait
Woot woot woot dot example dot come on man.
Looking For Group
You forgot LFT
Ive only ever seen LFG and LFM in the MMO world
LFG is common enough in online TTRPG spaces, although there it means looking for game instead of guild which I suppose rather proves the above point
LFF, as an example was popular in LOTRO were groups were flavored as fellowships in game.
That's delightful
Not an acronym though.
