I hate LFG because gamers can't agree on how to spell it or what it means... Sometimes it's spelled LFP, LFF or LFM... And sometimes it means "Looking for Guild".

I have a weird thing where I'll know an acronym that's close to another one, confuse the two, and come up with a new acronym that doesn't exist or make sense, but it "works" and then the rest of the context is just off.
The latest victim of this is "Assigned Cis At Birth"

My least favourite acronym:
- AUTMA: Americans use too many acronyms
FLOSS; only because I can only pronounce the second word as leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeber.
Fully liberatedf open source software? As in, the code has forcefully been taken away from the original coder?
