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.
Not the south! Gee-ess-dub-ya ftw.
Hate to burst, but I believe “dub-y-ah” would still be 3. Even though it’s fast enough that it’s barely perceptible.
Nah, dubyah is two syllables dub-yah. Unless you somehow make yeah into a two syllable word.
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.
