Genuinely every time I see TPUSA my brain substitutes turning point for toilet paper. Same result, so I refuse to correct it.

I forgot what their real name was for a couple weeks.

Me too!! I actually almost edited my comment to say that it sounds like a commodity bathroom tissue manufacturer.

Literally every time I have to remind myself it’s not toilet paper and I chuckle.

They chose an appropriate acronym, that’s for sure

My brain thinks its some kindof offensive reference to a body part like "FUPA."

Don't give toilet paper a bad name now.

[-] SlothMama@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Okay but what does the TP mean?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

Nothing of consequence.

It's easy to do.
