So, being a technical writer for a Government subcontractor allows me to pore over countless pages filled with lots and lots of uppercase letters, seemingly strung together with very little rhyme or reason. In any given day, I may type the following in an email:
"I was looking over the RFI for IMCS II and think that the PP quals that we should use would include RSAF, SPPN, AETC, KAFB, IBDSS, and CETS. I'll get the PPQs to the POCs by COB today. "
Yes, ladies and jellyspoons, I actually wrote that to someone today and whats more, they understood every 'word'.
So, that being said, I started thinking of other acronyms that I've come across. My favorite has to be from the
ghostriderfans community ([pimp]which everyone should join!![/pimp]) where
jadeblood and
kazuldragonfyre came up with an excellent acronym for Sam Elliot's character:
GOPCGR which stands for
Yeah, flippin awesome I say!
Other excellent acronyms come from these uberawesome fic ratings by
empressive:
Ratings for Content:
NLTOYM - Not Likely To Offend Your Mother. This means the story is pretty tame, most likely a PG-13ish rating. HSFB - Holy Smut-Fic, Batman! Another rating for extreme porn in a story.
Ratings for Oddness:
FS - Fucking Strange
RFS- Really Fucking Strange
RVFS- Really Very Fucking Strange
WTF- What The Fuck
Ratings for Fluff:
FF- Fucking Fluffy
FLS- Fluffy Like Sheep
Other Ratings:
HFS- Holy Fucking Sad
MBJC- Makes Baby Jesus Cry
YGIAGAM-- Your Guess Is As Good As Mine
LOL I have to say HSFB and MBJC are too gold for words. I wanna write fic just so that I can use those ratings.
In other random news, I got my DX DVD/T shirt combo today along with my RVD DVD (MORE ACRONYMS!!!!11 Even HHHBK!) and the DX playing cards, which are so awesome I can't even stand it. For anyone who's watched the DX DVD, is the "Stan" skit in there? I didn't see it listed...
