You used Spirit Speak. You establish a connection to the netherworld.
On topic, when browsing deals subs and forums, seeing ATL will always make me think of Atlanta Airport.
Might be unpopular, but as a non-English native I hate that Americans need to abbreviate everything into acronyms. POSTUS, SCOTUS, AWOL, ASAP. If it's not catchy as an abbreviation it needs a new name. I don't mind it so much in small settings, but when you read anything about America and all the comments are full of acronyms it's like a puzzle I never asked for.
World Wide Web is simpler than Double U Double U Double U.
MAP, no rebranding that. Defend that shit and get in line with the rest of them and jump in feet first.
STFU
I remember watching a video by Ryan Higa thinking it meant "stop tickling furry unicorns", it wasn't until I learned what it actually meant years later that I got pretty damn disappointed.
VOD is a close second though. I hate how you could take something that refers to something so general (videos on demand), and over time starr using it to exclusively refer to past Twitch streams. I know that this is what Twitch calls them, and it's technically not wrong to call them that, but it still doesn't make sense when that's all that VOD means nowadays. I miss the days of being jealous at the Americans for having cable.
