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 always read ofc as "of fucking course" it makes no sense to include the f.
"ofc" doesn't stand for "of fucking course"
edit this was supposed to have a question mark:
"ofc" doesn't stand for "of fucking course"?
Exactly!
I am so confused. It seriously doesn't mean, "of fucking course"? I never knew and I don't think I can retrain my brain to think otherwise on this one. I was raised by an uncouth teddy bear, so fuck is just a sort of normal word for me.
Today I Learned.
This reminds me of OOF: Out of Office. Like with automated email replies.
Shouldn't it be OOO? But nope, it's OOF.
Well that's the whole point, ain't it?
Oc is already taken for original content
Wow I always just assumed I was the only one who did this! Greetings, fellow of fucking course'er.
OC is already original content though. Not that I like OFC but OC is already taken in my head.
i read it as literally 'of c-'. like someone got cut of speaking.
What the hell else would it be?
