re: #14 wheat-dogg

It’s become the next step after SCOTUS and POTUS. Now we have PEOTUS, FLOTUS, VPEOTUS, SLOTUS, too.

TBH, I was annoyed by SCOTUS and POTUS. Back in my days of being a reporter, we were told to avoid jargon and just use words most people can understand, like “the Supreme Court” and “the President.”

Addendum: I assume the acronyms came into use to work around Twitter’s character limit, and like LOL and BBIAB, they’ve now entered everyday general use.
