I hate all acronyms that aren't defined.
You see it constantly in gaming communities. Ah, yes, the game "AC." You know the one.
Assassin's Creed? Animal Crossing? Armored Core? Ace Combat?

FFS. As in, for fucks sake, we all know it's FFS?!
Edit: sorry, drunk after work and reread the question. FFS is my fav.
I spend so much time in trans spaces online that it took me a second to realize you weren't being an ass to people who've had FFS (facial feminization surgery)

As a kid, I was in the room at one point while my mom was watching some TV show, maybe law and order or something similar. I heard somebody letting somebody else know (verbally) the details of some victim and described the cause of injury or death or whatever as "GSW". I asked my mom what GSW meant. She said "gun shot wound". I said that that couldn't possibly be right, and she was curious why. I said because "gun shot wound" is 3 syllables and "GSW" is 5; it's literally quicker to say the full thing.
So yeah, GSW is fucking stupid when said aloud, and even me as a dumbass child knew that.
Where in the world do you live that you need five syllables to 'GSW'?
Say W really slowly out loud and count the syllables. Where do you live that W isn't three syllables?
I was counting double as one syllable. It's still early on Sunday morning for me here.
SQL when pronounced as sequel. Squall or even squirrel would have been nicer imo
