Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

You used Spirit Speak. You establish a connection to the netherworld.

On topic, when browsing deals subs and forums, seeing ATL will always make me think of Atlanta Airport.
