I love it when acronyms stand for vastly different things depending on the circle it’s being discussed in. For instance, since I discovered this on wikipedia a couple of minutes ago, I am DYING to be invited to the kind of event where you might overhear:
“Now when you say ‘ODB’, are you referring to the rapper (and founding Wu Tang member) Ol’ Dirty Bastard, or to the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium?”
