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.

PICNIC. problem in chair, not in computer.

I always know it as a PBCAK error (problem between chair and keyboard)

It's PEBCAK, problem exists between keyboard and chair. Rolls right off the tongue.

Alternatively: ID 10T

Ha, I always knew this concept as PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair.

I do kinda like saying "the actual issue was a PICNIC."
