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.

What does ATL mean on deal subs and forums?

All time low, indicating the item is at its lowest price point it's ever been.

Hilarious... I've been a member at Slickdeals for over 20 years and never seen that.

Huh. Interesting.

I lurk primarily on RFD and r/bapcsalescanada and they both use ATL regularly. I guess it's just not a very widely accepted acronym then.

That's also interesting... I don't think I'm familiar with RFD.

I'm also in the US and have never really frequented any deals subreddits really.
