What is it with abbreviated disorders? Our attention span is short. We’ve all got Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD or OCD or one of these disorders with three letters because we don’t have the time to pronounce the entire disorder. What's that about?
Then as if that wasn't bad enough - we don't abbreviate appropriately! Take OCD - I have a genuine diagnosis so am not taking the wet but genuine sufferers will get this one - 'OCD' it should be 'CDO' that way the letters are in the right order !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God it so winds me up the wrong way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It got me thinking about abbreviations in general and how stupid they are, or is it just me that is too 'deep'? S.O.S (Save Our Souls) - God am I stupid but I want my body saved - I will worry about my soul later - S.O.B. (Save Our Body) is way more appropriate don't you reckon - I mean I would be sobbing if I needed rescuing!
A.A (Alcoholics Anonymous) - how the hell are you anonymous unless you attend the group in disguise - I mean the rest of the group will identify you in the least - A.A. (Alcoholics Arise) - isn't that better? I mean don't you have to stand up and say, 'My name is.....................and I'm an Alcoholic? God I need a drink after this rant;).
S.A.S (Special Air Service) - huh - clearly a guy came up with that one - should be SEXY ARMY SOLDIERS) yeah ok so I have a uniform thing - and which girl doesn't?
In reality there are loads more - that is just my short account but they are now starting to bug me. I reckon I need to re-write all abbreviations. I did come up with a cool one for my last job title. I was a P.S.A (I will leave that up to your imaginations';)
Feel free to leave suggestions!
T.T.F.N - L.O.L. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)
