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?

first time I experienced LOL was way back, Early 1990s. When AOL was still in 1.x for the Apple. My buddy and I broke into his brothers work computer and were playing around online in the chat rooms. They told us it was Loser On Line and it was a long time before I understood that wasnt what it was.... those jerks

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

I had a kinder experience and was told LOL was Leg of Lamb. That just left me confused.

AOL: Absent, on leave

All the time. Like at some point SC stopped meaning StarCraft and started meaning Splinter Cell. And don't let me get started about the famous roleplaying game PoE. Yes, or course I mean Pillars of Eternity and not Path of Exile.

bruh it's South Carolina

To be fair "SC" was replaced by "SC:BW" within like a year.

The Linux Kernel has a specific one, whereby DRM doesn't mean Digital Rights Protection, only thing I could think of.

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.

It's weird seeing news articles about the SEC that have nothing to do with college football.

You mean size exclusion chromatography, surely.

The Southeastern Conference was founded in 1932. The Securities and Exchange Commission in 1934.

It's not annoying, only quite funny, but every time I see CSM (Chainsaw Man) I can only think of Coño'e su Madre / Cocha'e su Madre (Motherfucker in Latinamerica).

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

BotW will always mean Best of the Worst to me. Zelda fans should just get over it and spell it out every time. And I like that game.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

never thought of the anime as bsd. sorta funny. I have to admit magic the gathering became so popular all of a sudden in the news.
