I hate whoever changed this nomenclature. It's PM and I will die on this hill.
- Turns out most PMs weren't actually private since site admins and mods could see them, so they switched to 'direct message' as a more honest description.
  
  I always thought "PM" stands for "Personal Message", which is more or less an okay description. You send a message to someone "personally", not in-person, but close enough, I suppose.
- Player Master? I don't think this will ever catch on.
- Prime Minister?
  
  Most TLA's are horribly overloaded (T for 2).
- Preventative maintenance?
- I am too afraid to search this.. I thought PMs meant menstural cycles in some cultures.. Like british if I am not mistaken.
  
  I would assume that prime minister would be more common in Britain. But even if it is also something with the menstrual cycle what would be wrong with that? It's just something some people have.
  When trying to check the first result I got was actually the plus-minus sign (\pm in LaTeX) which is also cool.

I hate the implication of what it meant going from calling them PMs, for Private Messages, to being DM, for Direct Message.
I want PMs, not DMs.
- But the messages aren't private, that is why I don't say pm anyore.
  
  I’m old enough to remember a time when you could receive your messages instantaneously via instant messages!

Dungeon Meshi!
- Ah, dungeon. Meshi.

Game master is better. Less Dungeon focused. Dungeon Master can also raise eyebrows when people think of Dungeon for BDSM.
Game Master is better.
- ... why not both?
  
  Knowing D&D people, it's usually both.
  I really should find a local tabletop group.
  
  Tbh it normally is 🙃
  They share a lot of the same soft skills
- I would recommend GM because it's not as heavily associated with D&D and also works better in the other language I speak.

Dommy mo....... oh fuk

Drogerie-Markt

This made slightly less sense before I remembered that manga is supposed to be read right to left.

I'll be slipping into your DMs...

Dextromethorphan?
- The orphans are on what kind of meth?
  
  Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant.

Daddy Master
- (Especially when Anthony is smooth)

Dank Memelord

I didn’t know persona had a manga
- I think they've made one for every iteration. It's where we get some of the alternate canon names for the protagonists, like Akira Kurusu and Minato Arisato.
