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.

My least favorite is IANAL (no pun intended), my favorite is RTFM, I use it a lot!

BofA is ugly but it's mainly a US thing, no one else uses it.

lots of people use bofa! >!bofa deez nuts!<

Spoiler tags work a little different here. Try this:

I can only read it as "I Anal" and the teenage boy in me giggles and I forget what I am reading.

I think IAnal is pretty obvious. Pretty sure BofA is sexual too. 🤷‍♂️.

You are the mom those 90s articles about AOL lingo was about
