Acronyms being “shorter and less scary” couldn’t be more wrong
Those are initialisms, not acronyms. mic drop
An acronym is an abbreviation formed using the initial letters of a multi-word name or phrase.
This is what Wikipedia says to that. mic bounces back up straight into your face
;)
You can check multiple dictionaries (Oxford, Merriam Webster) and they will agree with me.
They’re all abbr to me.
People Can’t Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms
…or PCMCIA for short.
This joke is brought to you by the old people who’s knees hurt
I still use PCMCIAs at my job. Had to order a reader. It has been… challenging (particularly getting permissions to connect it to the system, but even finding them is not super easy).
I learned this one in coolsig.com (which I was recently surprised to learn still exists and looks basically as I remember it!). At the time, I looked up the actual meaning, but the one in this thread is the one I still remember.
I think the most cursed part of this is the fact that the webcomic is “Coded with love in CSS”
Maybe all the text is in
.bubble:after {content: “my funny joke”}
Don’t really see comic strips about CSS, nice.
Anybody want to translate the acronyms into their alternative meanings?
Men seeking men
Big beautiful woman
Bondage discipline sadism masochism
Wireless sensor network
That last one is just depraved.
*Wet Sadistic Masochism
And titties?
And my axe!
A meeting about some CSS details. Do they need help wiping their ass too?
I’ve actually been using the term Too Many Acronyms (TMA for short) for years now. When I get see meeting invites that look like this, I say that I’m suffering from TMA.
I too am suffering from TMA, but it’s related to archives instead of acronyms
