Of course this does not refer to situations in which a generally uncommon acronym is well known. :P

Over my dead body does smbc mean Swiss meringue buttercream

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Clearly it’s Suck My Butter Chicken.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Salty malted biscuit cupcakes. Obviously

[–] ericheese@piefed.social 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that like the one japanese bank

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

Softbank Mitsubishi Banking Corp.

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 months ago (4 children)

How about the users that are starting to use the thorn character everywhere?

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think it's like one guy. I have him blocked and I haven't seen it since.

Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽

[–] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽

Because it insists upon itself

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 7 points 2 months ago

Just... brava friend. Brava indeed

[–] Inkstainthebat@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I genuinely try to use it bcs I think it's a cool character, but there's really not a lot of situations that warrant one ><

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We often just put ?! at the end of a 'shocked' question type, so I guess that's where it would work?

Ex: "OMG DID YOU SEE THAT ‽

I'm almost positive it's one person who keeps making new accounts.

[–] parzival@lemmy.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As long as they correctly use eth and thorn, I'm all for it

Acronyms are fucking bullshit.

Everyone gets "lol", but stop with the fucking bullshit. You guys have full keyboards. Not the shit we had with out 90's phones. Grow up.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

abbreviations are a normal part of human language, and have been around since long before the 90s

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

They are right though, we came up with lol and stuff like that because texting on a keypad was tedious. Its not really useful in the way it was back then, its just stuck around from popular use.

Not everyone gets lots of love, but I'm glad you do ;-)

My favourite gaming franchise: AC

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I mean that's Assassin's Creed for pretty much everyone these days, who even remembers Asheron's Call?

...

Is there another AC now? I haven't kept up

[–] Alcyonaria@piefed.world 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Armored core/animal crossing/ace combat

[–] Luis_StieglLorbeer@lemmy.dorfrollenspiel.de 18 points 2 months ago

Also Assetto Corsa

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah fair enough, I have actually heard of all of those, but I've never played any of them. I think Assassin's Creed is the only one you can really use without mentioning the name first, but true, even then it's too ambiguous.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I think it's because AC [subtitle] is a lot easier to google

[–] trevdog@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Asheron's Call, that's a blast from the past.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

My favorite movie character: JC

Muricans in a nutshell lol

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I was going to say people of low intelligence and no regard for others, but that's much shorter.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

We can go longer: People who despise the entire point of communicating and language and better off just grunting like a caveperson

ITT: a bunch of UFAs

IMHO it would at least be nice to bring some of the older internet acronyms back.

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

SrGrafo! Always good to see his stuff postee

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

I really miss them since I left reddit

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

IAUUAWET

As acronyms go, it sounds like a simple fella noticing his girlfriend is sexually excited.

[–] SayJess@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

I Always Update Ubuntu After Watching Entertainment Tonight.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Going to keep this meme in my back pocket. It’ll get a fair bit of use on Lemmy.

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

What about using idiomatic expressions without punctuation.

Shoot, again?
