I Almost Fell Out of My Chair At That One

Filed under Rants

One time I was talking to my friend cetroyer and he throw a very long acronym at me: AFOOMCATO.

I asked, “What is that?”

He replied, “Almost fell out of my chair at that one.”

I shook my head, realizing that such an absurd acronym will never catch on.

Almost fell out of my chair over this one

However, World Mag Blog released a post with the headline of “Almost fell out of my chair over this one.” It was pretty close with AFOOMCOTO.

So here’s to cetroyer’s little acronym catching on. AFOOMCATO – Almost fell out of my chair at that one. You can click the link below for my pronunciation of the acronym.

    Like all trends, they start off as a jog and end with a sprint.

    What a funny acronym. Actually, it would hurt much less than FOOMCL, so I'll take it! ;)

    Falling out of my chair loudly?

    Falling out of my chair laughing?

    Feeling oppressed, outdated, moody, careless, and lousy? :P

    Falling out of my chair laughing, but yes… I do feel that way sometimes too. ;)

    I've seen the acronym going even longer than that as FOOMCLMBO and other ways of course.

    *gulp*

    Falling Out Of My Chair Laughing….

    Mauling, Brawling, and Orientating?

    Maybe because it is funny and I'm laughing outwardly?
