I’m running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?

    I’m aging myself here, but WoW used to stand for “Winds of War”, an expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Then, World of Warcraft was released…

    POV is just not point of view anymore. In modern social media it mostly shows something where there could be a POV, but now you see it in 3rd person because people don’t care about what POV means.

    A group of separatist rebels in the Philippines formed the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

    MILF, for short.

    Ooh I’ve got one! I wanna do a poll within this thread, so please respond with a spoiler tag so you don’t influence anyone’s answers.

    But what does IMHO mean to you?

    Comment below and then come back and read this:

    spoiler

    To me it means in my humble opinion, but it seems more and more these days I see people referring to it as in my honest opinion.

    Is this a coincidence? Or a commentary on how people have gotten more rude or self centered? IDK, I’m not qualified to answer. I just think it’s really interesting that it means both things, and it completely changes the vibe of what you’re saying if someone interprets it one way or the other.

    I remember being annoyed when PS2 suddenly was a gaming console and not a line of personal computers from IBM.

    Yes, I know it’s PS2 vs. PS/2 when written out, but no one ever says PS-slash-2 when speaking.

    LoRa - to me it’s Long Range Radio and has been for a decade. It has some fucking AI slop meaning that recently came up, now.

    OK, I’ll bite. Pedant time.

    “BSD” isn’t an acronym. It’s an initialism.

    Acronyms are pronounced as a words rather than reading the letters, and, well, you’d be beatboxing if you pronounced BSD as a word.

    Therapy be wild taking CBT for cognitive behavioral therapy when it’s been cock and ball torture for so, so long.

    “Therapist said I needed CBT. I just walked out. That dude’s fucking crazy if he thinks Imma smash my nuts.”
