I hadn't seen that abbreviation before, but it's apparently this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_be_upon_him

It's a common and widely accepted abbreviation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million

Wow, that's an acronym soup if I ever saw one:

card_zero | karma 918 | avg karma 1.61 · | 2024-06-29 19:07:06

leadingthenet | karma 1009 | avg karma 1.75 · | 2017-12-01 22:27:19

I think he means this:

jdmichal | karma 6046 | avg karma 2.16 · | 2017-04-21 19:07:12

That's RAS Syndrome -- redundant acronym syndrome syndrome.

Not to be confused with:

Thanks, learnt something new! (It stands for Do What I Mean).

Interesting pages:

I hadn't realized it was a technical term with a specific meaning

SSMSHU?

Somehow this one is lost on me.

That's very interesting. I didn't believe it at first -- hence the link that starts this post.

I couldn't easily find in the post what this FUI abbreviation stands for, so here's a reddit on it:

radq | karma 480 | avg karma 3.78 · | 2014-07-24 06:06:00+00:00

I don't see it on my end but I'm guessing it is a ligature:

ArnoVW | karma 1951 | avg karma 3.8 · | 2023-06-09 09:58:13

hourago | karma 2222 | avg karma 6.63 · | 2022-06-11 11:56:12

This is a common problem. Acronyms are short but provide less information. Without the proper context it is difficult to know what do they refer to.

In Wikipedia, your interpretation is the first result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML

blacksmith_tb | karma 4448 | avg karma 1.65 · | 2018-08-29 20:37:06+00:00

I read that as a familiar shorthand for 'Armageddon'[1]
