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.
Ive worked with tons of DB devs and admins. Nobody really seems to care. A bunch of us say “sequel” and a bunch of us say “ess cue ell”, even in the same answer-and-response in a conversation and nobody seems to bat an eye. You’ll get a comment or a smirk if you say “squirrel” or “squeal”, but that’s about it.
