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.

I like how you say "ghee" is a common word

London, UK. Ghee is an everyday word. So is Bombay Aloo.

Dang. As an Indian-American, I rarely hear non-Indians say "ghee," and the few times I do on YouTube videos, it's always "ghee butter."

I'm a pasty, old, white man and even I've got a half-full can of ghee in the fridge. I know you don't have to keep it in the fridge but I'm short of cupboard space.

Cook more lol. It is common if you like making food!

For non-Indian food, I've seen coconut and olive oil used, almost never ghee.
