Of course this does not refer to situations in which a generally uncommon acronym is well known. :P

Jiminy Crickett ez clap

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago

I mean that's Assassin's Creed for pretty much everyone these days, who even remembers Asheron's Call?

...

Is there another AC now? I haven't kept up

[-] Alcyonaria@piefed.world 7 points 3 months ago

Armored core/animal crossing/ace combat

Also Assetto Corsa

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago

Ah fair enough, I have actually heard of all of those, but I've never played any of them. I think Assassin's Creed is the only one you can really use without mentioning the name first, but true, even then it's too ambiguous.

[-] trevdog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Asheron's Call, that's a blast from the past.

For those looking for a translation -

You're welcome.

Untranslated Fucking Acronyms?

[-] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

How about the users that are starting to use the thorn character everywhere?

[-] missingno@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago

I'm almost positive it's one person who keeps making new accounts.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I think it's like one guy. I have him blocked and I haven't seen it since.

Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽

Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽

Because it insists upon itself

As long as they correctly use eth and thorn, I'm all for it

I really miss them since I left reddit

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I got the title confused with North America South American.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Going to keep this meme in my back pocket. It’ll get a fair bit of use on Lemmy.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's a defence mechanism. I want to scare people away from trying to participate in a topic they know nothing about but feel like an expert in. Those that do know about the acronyms are worth the while.

Edit: I don't have autism.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

IAUUAWET

As acronyms go, it sounds like a simple fella noticing his girlfriend is sexually excited.

Three Letter Acronyms and .. Flea Letter Acronyms?

nono, Fifty Letter Acronyms.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

can you make a valid sentence using the same acronym multiple times but with different meanings?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

Acronyms are fucking bullshit.

Everyone gets "lol", but stop with the fucking bullshit. You guys have full keyboards. Not the shit we had with out 90's phones. Grow up.

[-] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

abbreviations are a normal part of human language, and have been around since long before the 90s

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago

CP has only one meaning and it's not "control point," "Cyberpunk," or "counter protestors."
