CS department initials, acronyms, and abbreviations
Topics/Tags: Miscellaneous, silly, short
The other day, I was writing a note and using the initials of some of my colleagues. As I did so, I realized that many of us have initials that have everyday other meanings. Here are the ones that immediately came to mind.
- CC: Carbon copy. Or perhaps Creative Commons.
- HW: Homework.
- AV: Audio/Visual.
- SR: Senior.
- PM: Personal message. Also evening.
- PO: Upset.
- JS: JavaScript.
What about JW? Nothing immediately came to mind. But the InterWeb tells
me that it could be Jehovah’s Witness
or Just Wondering
[1].
In our family, we have a Senior and a Mister and a Junior and a Doctor [3]. The last of us? They seem to be a Wide Receiver [4].
How common is it that initials [5] serve as acronyms or abbreviations?
I have no idea.
[1] I suppose if I was hip to the text message lingo, I would have known that [2].
[2] I expect that hip
, text message
, and lingo
are all dated terms,
which probably proves my point.
[3] SR, MR, JR, DR.
[4] WR.
[5] Or perhaps any pair of letters.
