Acronyms for song titles.

Is it that hard to just spell the full names ?

I thought this the other day when listening to DJKDHSB off ODOSHA.

my own personal favourite queen acronym?

Is BR

Bohemian Rhapsody, Bicycle Race or Brighton Rock?[/QUOTE]

None of the above....It stands for British Rail

Ftr.... it's these ARE the days of our lives. ... which gives us MY favorite queen acronym - TATDOOL ... followed closely by WWTLF, LOML and then TSMGO.


Bohemian Rhapsody is typically and reverently referred to as BoRhap, is it not?

Most confusing queen acronyms:

CT
HOIT
M
DB
MBDM
TT *(try shortening to just "teo") or LUCT
D

Actually. They're all abbreviations. NOT acronyms. .. what the hell am I saying?


An acronym has to spell out a word... I.e.

Student
Humanities
Informatory
Team

Or

S.H.I.T. ...my high school joke group.

Technically, they're initialisms. Although some [i]could[/i] actually be acronyms, if anyone were to actually pronounce them as single word, such as you could do with TATDOOL.

not strictly true.
"Laser" "scuba" "radar" et al, were NOT words before the devices were invented
the "words" were created from he initial letters...
so in all essence TATDOOL and all the other "abbreviations" are in fact acronyms - even tho they don't spell out pronouncible pre-existing words

Is it just me or does anyone else have no clue what song someone is referring to when the mention e.g. AOBTD or TWTDOOL?

It takes me a few seconds of brain racking to work ou what song it is, and I know them all intimately, having been listening to Queen from the 70's.

Maybe my brain just doesn't work tha way?[/QUOTE]

I'd definitely get confused if people start using TWTDOOL as you have, when the correct acronym would be TATDOOL!! :-)
