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 do the same thing. My brain kept misinterpreting ACAB for a while and usually slotted in "cat" for some reason until I figured out what it meant

In my area of specialty, Identity and Access Management, one of the recent fads is Attribute Based Access Control. I always do a little double take when there's a serious conference topic going over ABAC.
