Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A big time pet peeve of mine too.

I don’t even open threads with titles like “Who played Josie in TWiT?”

I opened this just to see what those initials stood for.

I feel so, so… _used_.

Oh, they’re definitely real. In order, they are:

I agree with the sentiment over all, although I think exceptions can be made in certain well-bounded situations, ie… “which is your favorite of the Lord of the Rings movies, FoTR, TTT or RotK?”

I couldn’t agree more. Although…confusion between the Passion of the Christ and Pirates of the Carribean has occasionallly been amusing…

Actually, that was the stirring bio-pic **L** ieu’s **H** orrible **T** urds **S** mell.

(And I always associated “POTC” with _Polly of the Circus_)

Not that I do it 'round heah or anything, but I actually think in HSX abbreviations.

Surely they could only be confusing if one chose PC as the acronym, in which case it wouldn’t be obvious even that it was a film, let alone specifically one of these. Otherwise, PotC could only be Pirates, tPotC the Passion …

Yeah, but for some reason, everyone abbreviates the passion as PotC.

As to the topic, I’ve always liked HPWJD better. Of course, the FSKF fanboys will probably come in quickly to tell me how wrong I am, but whatever.

:rolleyes:

What a petty thread.

It’s just like that scene in WRTTHS, season 1, when SMA and BTO were having “The Talk” and all of a sudden PPN came in and got all OOC with the PDs on the BMI. Y’all with me here?

Translation: It’s just like that scene in When Roscoe Turns To Heroin Smoking, season 1, when Seattle Municipal Authority and Bachman Turner Overdrive were having “The Talk” and all of a sudden Pokemon Palace Network came in and got all Oiled Orifice Concerned with the Pubic Diagrams on the Body Mass Index.

The preceding was a PSA unauthorized by NPR, PRI, IHOP, or LSMFT. YMMV

I disagree. According to [AcronymFinder.com](http://AcronymFinder.com), the translation is clearly:

It’s just like that scene in WRTTHS Is Not Found In Our Database, season 1, when Saint Mary’s Academy and Bachman Turner Overdrive (good call, **dwc** ) were having “The Talk” and all of a sudden Packet Processor Module came in and got all Object-Oriented COBOL with the Dissipated Power (yes, I did type PD) on the Backflow Management, Inc.
