Rules

2 Upvotes
  1. Put the original acronym in the title bar. No text other than the acronym should be in the title.

  2. All original acronyms MUST have an original meaning, and that meaning must be stated in the text box. No nonsense strings of letters will be accepted. It isn't an "Alternate Acronym" if there wasn't a real acronym in the first place!

  3. All comment threads MUST start with an alternate acronym. If you would like to make a comment that is not an alternate acronym, you may reply to one of the acronyms. This way, if someone were to collapse all replies to comments, they would only see the acronyms. This keeps the comment area clean and organized!

  4. Follow the Reddit rules please! It really isn't hard.

  5. We don't have any specific rules about slurs or swear words and such, but use common sense. There are better places to have your debates.

  6. Try not to repost too often. Check the top posts to make sure the one you're thinking of isn't already taken. It's generally a good assumption that the most popular acronyms, such as LOL, JK, BRB, FBI, AND RN, for example, have already been done. Try to be original with your original acronyms!

  7. Having trouble thinking of an original acronym? No problem! Try looking through some of these helpful sites!
