Demo is used as an abbreviation for both demonstration and demolition. Usually it's pretty obvious which one is intended, but every time I hear someone say "demo" I try to imagine what kind of chaos would result if the wrong usage was assumed.

"We're having a demo in the break room in five minutes people!"

5 min later

Boom!

"OMG why are there so many dead bodies? I told everyone to stay clear of the break room!"
