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.

    That’s most assuredly not another syllable. Dub, as in I dub thee. Ya, as in ya, I know. There’s a glide across a very sliiiiiight E sound, but it’s also present when you just say “ya”, it’s more “e-ya”. So either “ya” is two syllables, or dub-ya is two.
