Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

I like how you say "ghee" is a common word

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

London, UK. Ghee is an everyday word. So is Bombay Aloo.

Dang. As an Indian-American, I rarely hear non-Indians say "ghee," and the few times I do on YouTube videos, it's always "ghee butter."

I'm a pasty, old, white man and even I've got a half-full can of ghee in the fridge. I know you don't have to keep it in the fridge but I'm short of cupboard space.
