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.

Somewhat similar: k8s

Kubernetes is fine because it's easy to keep track of, it looks and pronounces similar to the real word.

O11y for "observability", though, that one's pretty rough. And people trying to make the pronunciation "ollie" make me see red.
