Stan CareyA comment on my post describes users of this slang as lazy simpletons with a limited vocabulary. (I was having none of it.)
I see linguistic shortcuts – abbreviations and the like – more as efficiencies. They're the verbal equivalent of desire paths, which no one sees as "lazy".
But the characterization shows the social baggage that language has accumulated. It's a scapegoat for broader anxieties and prejudices.

As spatial data professionals- indeed as data professionals generally - we have all been in similar situations, either inside or looking in… so VERY relatable!
(note that the “98 minute documentary…” “about the men - and one woman” he mentions was – so very sadly! – a fiction generated for his routine…)

My interest in (1) tennis and, unrelatedly, (2) the linguistics of profanity means that just now when I saw the phrase "WTA RG F" my brain briefly decided that it meant "what the actual Roland-Garros fuck"

1peter10I dislike Three Letter Acronyms. There are too many, and they differ a lot across domains.
This has been triggered by reading TFA on "Hacker News", which I must have looked up countless times by now. It can't be 'That F***er Above', right? And it's clearly not most of these: https://www.acronymfinder.com/TFA.html
I'll just assume it means whatever and move on.
