Definition of acronym - A word formed from the initial
letters of other words (e.g., radar - Radio Detection And Ranging).
I believe that acronyms have gotten way out of hand. I could go on for days about this but
instead I will show you.
Below is a list of acronyms that I typed in less than 30
seconds. I have gone back in and given
definition or comment where I deemed it appropriate.
ACDC This used to have something to do with
alternate electrical current. Now if you
say it the person next to you says “Oh, I like that band.” See?
TMI I know all of this is too much information
WTH Yes!
MRI Imaging is a
big deal in medicine. I get that. But IF you have a stent or two you have been
told not to have one test. I think this
is the one. If there were less acronyms
I would be able to remember if this is the one or if it is a CAT Scan. Sigh…
EKG Electro
cardiogram. What is the K?
SBE This is the one that embarrassed me the
most. When a man in a meeting has to
tell you about a self breast examination that is not cool.
ADR Australian
Design Rules (vehicle safety standards)
Alternative dispute resolution
American Depositary Receipt In
my world it is Average Daily Rate. I am
so confused!
LMAO My daughters say this all the time. I do not see mine going anywhere.
I have a friend who wants to know why they are not bringing
back SOB. She likes that one.
Why? That is a
question. Not an acronym.
DYHOTRBY? (Do you have one that really bothers you?)
