#AcronymAmbiguity @AcronymAlts
so tonight I learned that if you see "NH" in the context of ski jumping, it just means "Normal Hill" and doesn't have anything to do with New Hampshire. #AcronymAmbiguity

"OTP": "Ought To Pass" or "One True Pair"? #AcronymAmbiguity
Hey #nhpolitics ppl, the number of ppl taking the #AcronymAmbiguity of #ACNH to mean "Animal Crossing: New Hampshire" suggests a great tie-in opportunity for a cross-promotion our tourism bureau could do w/Nintendo (once this pandemic ends at least). cc @VisitNH @nhtravelcouncil
I wonder how Mary Gay Scanlon feels about sharing her initials with Metal Gear Solid. @RepMGS #AcronymAmbiguity
An amiable arigato for the follow, @AcronymAlts! I'm aboutta alight on a retweeting spree of #AcronymAmbiguity tweets now; feel free to acquire all and any that haven't been already administered... #AA

#AcronymAmbiguity
.@KSCDemocrats always confuses me; I always forget if the "KSC" is for "Kent Street Coalition", "Kansas City", or "Keene State College".

With this "Is your child texting about..." meme going around, I'd just like to take this chance to promote the #AcronymAmbiguity hashtag
