Acronyms you find irrationaly annoying (BOGO)
 
BOGO always triggers me. don't know why. comes off as shrill marketing.

do you get similarly annoyed by stuff like this

myosis 07-13-2017 12:28 PM

i hate hearing people say "triple double v" in radio ads (in french we say double v instead of double u)

TuralyonW3 07-13-2017 12:31 PM

I just have some unreasonable issue with people who say it as a word instead of speaking the letters. "Oh, you work in 'the knock'?"

:dammit:

myosis 07-13-2017 01:48 PM

what about LOL? when did people start pronouncing it as a word?

like 15 years ago?

I fucking hate BOGO as well as about 96% of all acronyms. Basically, I lament the death of the English language in general.

I definitely get what you mean about the "shrill marketing" aspect. It's like some guys in a fucking board room decided they could sell more shit to us by appearing hip and creating new lingo. Fuck off and die with that shit.

FlamingGlobes 07-13-2017 05:15 PM

I also hate "bae" and want to murder anyone who has ever used it, ironically or otherwise.

FlamingGlobes 07-13-2017 05:16 PM

I also hate phrases like "Get woke!"

FlamingGlobes 07-13-2017 05:16 PM

I used to be with it, then they changed what it was etc. etc.

Whenever I see music discussions that go:

Hey BM is my favorite I love their album MR, it's way better than ST. RoR, NRNR, ToTD and FDTD are way better than DDM, CMIYC and RoN.

It makes me wanna slit my wrists.
