Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

      I’ve never had to say TUI. I usually just say “termainal” or “command line”. UI depends on the context, sometimes “u-i” sometimes “user interface”

        a TUI is usually more interactive, such as Vim, and basically a full GUI, but rendered as text.

        ‘command line interface’ (CLI) typically means you type out commands and thats it, such as a Bash program or Git or something.
