"BSD" isn't an acronym. It's an initialism.

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.
BLM
Especially since the Bureau of Land Management is regularly talked about in my field.
I have no issue with the civil rights movement tho
Due to anti-DEI policies the agency is now called All Land Management

CP does not mean:

- Club Penguin
- Cleft Palate

If you're on a Unix terminal it means "copy," anywhere else it means what Josh Duggar is into.
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.
MK, Mortal Kombat, not Mario Kart.
CH, ChapulΓn Colorado, not Christina Herrera.
SNK, Shin Nihon Kikaku, not Shingeki no Kyojin.
SNK - Saturday Night Korea!
It's weird seeing news articles about the SEC that have nothing to do with college football.
The Southeastern Conference was founded in 1932. The Securities and Exchange Commission in 1934.
You mean size exclusion chromatography, surely.
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)
Not annoyed, but i enjoy annoying red hats by taking about how much I appreciate BLM. As soon as they start spouting off I start talking about how we camped on Bureau of Land Management land out west and it was great.
Alternatively, how Brennan Lee Mulligan is a great GM
Also Game Master > General Motors
I read GM as Grand Master (chess). Youβve bastardised it now.
Grand Master (chess) > Game Master > Literal dog shit > General Motors
Better? ;-)
Perfecto.
