    I remember a reddit post that apparently still makes me rant. Something something MGK at MSG.

    What the fuck? Metal Gear Ketamine at Monosodium Glutemate?

    MGK is Machine Gun Kelly, fair enough, but MSG is Madison Square Garden?

    Go fuck yourself! One venue in one city on one planet does not get ONE three letter acronym!

        Didn’t you hear? The next set will be Urza’s Congress and will feature the other MTG as a 0/1 red goblin with “Tap to prevent enemy from attacking. ‘Her mad ramblings cause even the most stalwart foe to wander off in confusion’”

    What’s the other CNC? Command ‘n’ Conquer? 🤔

    Edit: Also would add PnP to this list. As a techie, I immediately think of Plug’n’Play. But it has an entirely different meaning on dating apps/personal ads.

              People still use that term too, but the R-word can be a bit triggering to a lot of people, I think it helps to have a different term to call it that emphasizes that it really is consensual even though the fantasy you’re playing out is that it isn’t

    I work as an accountant and my old boss - younger than me, mind you - always abbreviated the intercompany accounts (Due to/From) as DTF. To this day I have no idea if he was trolling us or really had not heard the acronym used, he never once broke.

    Is there a site that lists all of them for comparison. Sounds doable. Just links to wikipedia.
