Your favorite not-widespread acronym?

[hanoverphist]

i think this is pretty common. hell, i use fubar on repair orders at work.

i don't think i use any acronyms that aren't common, because it defeats the point of acronyms. i could see certain occupations using them a lot, though.

i use fubar all the time too.

the work ones kill me. OIT vs HMI vs SCADA could all be interchangeable depending on the engineer involved. i have one engineer i deal with that considers an OIT to be a wall-mounted operator screen as opposed to a desktp computer, which he calls an HMI. funny part is, they are literally the same thing. Operator Interface Terminal versus Human-Machine Interface. the list goes on, all the way to AITs and such.

i also thought it was funny there was a change industry-wide from using MMI (man-machine interface) due to the "man" part.

Then there's AFLAC.

Oddly enough I've been using this handle for years, but never looked up what it meant until a few days ago.

Good from far, far from good. Used to describe women who are deceptively good looking at a distance, but far from good looking up close.

Huh, that's HFFA here, hot from far away.

I hear FIB all the time because I am an Illinois native, now living in WI. There seems to be somewhat of a rivalry? between the two states. I had never even heard the term "FIB" until I first moved to WI 10 years ago. I remember thinking "so that's what they call us up here?" We were at least somewhat nice, and just called WI people Cheeseheads.
