MAP, no rebranding that. Defend that shit and get in line with the rest of them and jump in feet first.
STFU
I remember watching a video by Ryan Higa thinking it meant "stop tickling furry unicorns", it wasn't until I learned what it actually meant years later that I got pretty damn disappointed.
VOD is a close second though. I hate how you could take something that refers to something so general (videos on demand), and over time starr using it to exclusively refer to past Twitch streams. I know that this is what Twitch calls them, and it's technically not wrong to call them that, but it still doesn't make sense when that's all that VOD means nowadays. I miss the days of being jealous at the Americans for having cable.
Not an acronym, but I've been in a couple of jobs where people use "offline" to mean "not at this meeting", as in "let's take this tangential discussion offline". They would say that during an in-person meeting to take the conversation to digital (online!) media!
World Wide Web is simpler than Double U Double U Double U.
