I’m running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?

Therapy be wild taking CBT for cognitive behavioral therapy when it’s been cock and ball torture for so, so long.
“Therapist said I needed CBT. I just walked out. That dude’s fucking crazy if he thinks Imma smash my nuts.”
My shop we sell cheese and bacon traveller pies, abbreviated to CBT…
LoRa - to me it’s Long Range Radio and has been for a decade. It has some fucking AI slop meaning that recently came up, now.
I remember being annoyed when PS2 suddenly was a gaming console and not a line of personal computers from IBM.
Yes, I know it’s PS2 vs. PS/2 when written out, but no one ever says PS-slash-2 when speaking.
Isis used to be the fake spy agency Archer worked for. Damn those middle-eastern radicals stealing the name!
Before that, Isis was an Egyptian goddess and a hot superhero with crossovers to Shazam
Right? Archer’s Isis didn’t replace those, just made them more Accessable
OK, I’ll bite. Pedant time.
“BSD” isn’t an acronym. It’s an initialism.
Acronyms are pronounced as a words rather than reading the letters, and, well, you’d be beatboxing if you pronounced BSD as a word.
It’s not pronounced buzzed? I’ve been saying Freebuzzed wrong all this time???
Hey, that’s my job

If you’re on a Unix terminal it means “copy,” anywhere else it means what Josh Duggar is into.
And in the corporate Windows world, it’s the Company Portal (essentially the inter-company App Store). I always have to type it out because I don’t like telling people to go to the CP.
Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.
Cerebral Policy? We could use some of that

SWIFT is not a programming language it’s a trading protocol that runs the global financial markets which I’m working very hard to forget but still it deserves respect.
But the name of the language isn’t an acronym it’s just the word swift.
Doesn’t change the fact that people think it’s the same thing lol
Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.
What is WAP, if not wireless application protocol?

Not annoyed but amused. I suffer from IBS. And in my work there are Internal Business Systems. So I suffer from IBS twice.
SRS/GRS is absolutely everywhere as an acronym. It stands for Sex/Gender Reassignment Surgery
HRT too (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
Apparently BBC no longer means Big Black Chicken
I love how someone uploaded a video titled “Virgin asshole destroyed by BBC” to pornhub, and it was a video of Ben Shapiro losing his shit after badly failing at debating one of the BBC hosts.
Duh, it’s British Broadcasting Chicken.
Those of a vintage beyond even my own will know that it stands for “Broken Biscuit Company”, which I believe originated on BBC radio with The Goon Show. Now that’s not an acronym, but it is another word that’s picked up an unfortunate extra meaning in recent years.
Huh, I though it was British Black Chicken!
A lot of british women I knew just loved BBC.
This! It’s so frustrating trying to fill my hen house
