"LGBTM"
Could be the new LGTM

"Ask the question at talks", when you're confused by unfamiliar jargon.
I couldn't agree more. I often do this when I hear a new acronym. It's not a crusade against acronyms but against _unexplained_ acronyms that only prevent people from understanding your point.
Don't hesitate to do the same! And if you're a speaker (at work or in conferences) please introduce your acronyms before you use them 🙂

I’m a little troll!

This is pretty great (from @… for @…) :

If you have never heard of the "Society for American Civic Renewal" (the acronym is pronounced “#sacker” by its members), it’s because they’ve been trying to stay under the radar.
Now that they are getting uncovered, they are attempting to manage the news coming out about them.
