      Now, now, let's not use such words at a family site. That's so not PC.
      Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10
      I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made - Psalms 139.14a

        I also don't like SCOTUS.

        And don't get me started on PNAS.

          Both sounds like male body parts.

            I think DMV has sucked away more of my life-force than any other acronym. At least directly.

              I get it. But I don't like it.

              Because when I see "Xian", I get all excited and ****, thinking they're going to talk about some ancient Chinese dynasty. And then X-ian makes it look all alien, so we'll be talking about invaders from deep space.

              But then they rant about Jesus, and I lose interest, 'cause that ****'s boring.

              It would help if you pay attention to the context.

                      So your point being you don't like talking about Jesus? Or the fact that "Xian" might be referring to Him and His followers?

                            Xian is Chinese and have nothing to do with Christ.

                              As Nikolai says.

                              If he's your God and all, I'd think you'd have enough respect for him to write out his name in full.

                              Another abbreviation I don't like. MILF. I get what it refers to, and if you're into that, no big deal.

                              But the abbreviation itself sounds gross.

                                I hate any acronym that when some one says it also says what the last intial means... i.e. AIDS Syndrome

                                Oh, and "EVOO... That's Extra Virgin Olive Oil" Sheit Rachel Ray! If everytime you say EVOO you have tell me what it means than why bother saying EVOO!!! Shut up!!!
