1. SJ for the super-journalist he imagines himself to be.

It's a fireworks display, he says, and he's saving the best for last! Go, go Super-J!

O.O.P.S.!

8. You're really having problems with initials these days, Whisp.

It might be a disorder you'll want to get checked.

4. Or 'RJ' for Robotic Journalist.

Since he says his job is relatively straightforward to publish whatever someone steals and hands off to him.

No self-reflection needed. You know, like a robot.

7. Too close to the head of Freeperdom....nt

[arely staircase]

5. I went with the first choice.

everybody should have to spell it out. I don't give a shit how much of a pain in the ass it is to do so with your phone. and I care even less that initials and abbreviations are used for everything and everyone else under the sun. this is el bebe jesus pequeno for crying out loud.

[Whisp]

9. so I have to spell out ROTFLMAO at your post

because the Acronym Police will not be amused. That's AP for those that care to take issue.

[arely staircase]

11. el bebe jesus pequeno is actualy another DUr's (i can't remember who to credit)

it actually got alerted on.

[msanthrope]

10. BHO, BO, HRC, EW, FDR, LBJ.....you are right...DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND,

a board for partisan Democrats, should totally make an exception for Glenn Greenwald.

[arely staircase]

12. what about

SCROTUS?

[msanthrope]

14. Mark me down for GG

Retired military vet and we use Acronyms and Abbreviations or everything. I teach a class that is titled Basic Intelligence Graphical Descriptor Imagery Course BIGDIC.......I teach a class the Army labelled BIGDIC and the male and female students don't become unhinged about it. So I will use GG thank you very much.

[msanthrope]

16. Personally, I think this whole issue is FUBAR. nt

[AnalystInParadise]

18. HA!

Yeah......

[Behind the Aegis]

19. Yes it is.

Personally, I see it as using homophobia as a weapon and devaluing the nature of homophobia.

[msanthrope]

21. I agree. nt

27. Not to mention SNAFU!

[broiles]

20. This is so silly.

[msanthrope]

25. What about Comrade Eddie? nt

[treestar]

23. GEG should do

Though it sounds like the name of a cave man, and so that might be homophobic, too.

[Whisp]

24. lol! That would be Zog and his other brother Geg.

If GG's middle name was Alfred ...

WITH A SPOON!

[struggle4progress]

26. Maybe we could just ask him to change his middle initial to A

[alp227]

29. A trivial thread to attract dumb jokes, nothing more

Not that I have anything against dumb jokes.


But really, shouldn't this thread be about twerking?
