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.

Mtg. A lot of posts and articles use it for Marjory Taylor Green an it always confuses me, I keep trying to figure out what Magic the Gathering has to do with Jewish space lasers.

    Tap to deal 5 damage to target creature or player, then add three recharge counters to Jewish Space Laser.

    During the untap phase, if there are any recharge counters on Jewish Space Laser, instead of untapping remove one counter. Otherwise, untap as normal.

    Not an acronym. Unless you pronounce it "Muttaguh" or something?

    Come on now. We know this is only because people usually don't know the difference, not because it's correct. Acronyms are pronounced as words, initialisms are spoken one letter at a time. Every article I've clicked says the same thing, confirming what I said. I'm doubling down. 😁
