Well shit. Up that urgency—not only did the dog figure out how to jump up on the couch today (which he’s previously only done when having zoomies), he ALSO figured out how to jump up onto my bed! (Which is super high up, with storage underneath) He had NEVER managed to do that before, and he did it twice in like five minutes just now! Oh dear.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh god, medical studies LIVE for twisting their study name into an acronym. It's alphabet soup.
My favorite medical backronym (which I looked up because this is something all the women in my family have/do) is ACHOO -
Autosomal-dominant Compelling HelioOpthalmic Outburst (ACHOO) Syndrome is characterized by uncontrollable sneezing in response to the sudden exposure to bright light, typically intense sunlight

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I worked for a global health non-governmental organization (NGO) for a few years. It was an acronym-palooza. My favorite was PMTCT of HIV supported by our grant from USAID. That's prevention of mother-to-child transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus supported by the United States Agency for International Development, so you can see why people would want to stop typing the whole thing out after a paragraph or three.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That one is good! [Edit: ACHOO is good. I have also worked with PMTCT/USAID/ETC, so I feel that one.]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I work for an association and I have a full page of acronyms for other associations in our field that I routinely share with new employees. One of them in particular - one we deal with on a regular basis - has to be explained, along with its pronunciation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Right. No superpowers. Got it. «wink».

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
