Misinterpreted Acronyms

When I first came to this board from another, I found it pretty amusing as I started realizing that people used the same abbreviations for completely different topics.

So, what're the acronyms that you use in a "non-standard" manner?

I'll get the ball rolling...

To me, "EBR" was always "Emergency Battle Rifle", not "Evil Black Rifle."

SO was always Sheriff's Office, not Significant Other.

More?

Ha. There's some funny stuff in here.

The one that always got me was when people would use 'TEOTWAWKI' for "the end of the world as we know it." It always took me longer to type out the acronym than it did the phrase.

DRT=Dead Right There, but I always seem to read it as DTR=Dead To Rights.

I have her convinced this is a place in KS.

You're mean. You know she's some day say to someone "You know, I'd like to go to Bohica. It sounds nice." And they'll laugh at her forever.

My highschool photo teacher's parents had told her that the chunks of re-tread you see laying on the highway were called "armadiddos," and she didn't figure it out till she was in her 20's, and went "Oh, look, an armadiddo!" in a carful of friends.
