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.

    PEBKAC is just an elitist acronym whenever not used ironically.

    Nah, that’s IT people venting due to the overpopulation of (L)users.

      It’s one thing to have an initialism for dumb users and to use it shorthand in forum posts with other IT professionals, but it’s entirely another to u ironically use it IRL. I just think PEBKAC is a funny way of describing user issues that’s different than how my brain works.
