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 speech—you have to say the whole thing.

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

It’s basic logical notation.

if YK, then YK

Some will ask what YK is. But it doesn’t matter! The statement is true.

I have seen nerdy programming groups type yk->yk but that might be unique to my group.
