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 speechβ€”you have to say the whole thing.

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

IYKYK. Took me forever to memorize, I had to look it up every time I came across it and no way I'll ever say it aloud.

We have "If You Know, You Know", and "If You Don't Know, Now You Know"

But what is AKIHTB?
