When you see a TUSCL acronym in a real life setting

The other day, I was on my way to my brother's house to help him work on finishing his basement. He asked me to stop at the hardware store to get some nails for a finishing nailer. As I am standing in the aisle looking for nails, I saw a sign with the letters "FS" in a large font. My immediate reaction was "Full service at a hardware store?" Then I noticed in smaller print beneath the "FS", it said "Flooring Staples".

    Those acronyms are standard in the escort world. They were used all the time on San Francisco Redbook, and they were important.

    RB-GFE = DFK + DATY + BBBJ + MSOG(covered)

    I find myself regularly typing OTC instead of OTA (an acronym used frequently at work).

    My fav use of strip club terms outside of the club was a Qdoba ad which read "extras don't cost extra." The point is that they would add whatever ingredient you want to your meal for no extra charge. But I read it differently.

    Last year our HR rep sent out an email to the whole office with the subject of "Our insurance will now pay for some OTC".

    I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I opened the email and it was about over the counter medicine.

    I haven't read an HR email since then without thinking about it.

    it seems almost every day someone will bring up a discussion about lenadoon dog killers, the crazy cunts that kill dogs, and as soon as the first person uses the common acronym LDK i can’t help but cringe recalling TUSCL’s special needs dork with a premature ejaculation problem causing him to jizz in his pants at the first sight of a fat ass ho

    I know where the no-fee ATMs are nearby - but I try not to be an ATM.

    Another acronym I see frequently is OTC and it has a much different meaning to the club meaning!

    Yes - whenever I see the "Extras" app on my iPhone.

    Saw bbbjotp on a potluck sign-up sheet. Apparently it's a sausage dish.

    Not exactly on topic: En route to a favorite strip club of mine (now closed), I would pass by a "Babies R Us" store. Knowing what was on my mind at the moment, I often misread the sign as "Boobies R Us." Then I thought, "Wouldn't that make a good name for a strip club?" Especially if it were right across the street.

    Goer,

    I wonder how long it would take for the law suit to be filed if that event were to happen?

    I'm guessing that there have already been lawsuits - over similar club names - as Boobies R Us - or Titties R Us - as someone must have tried to use those names in the past.

    Cash,

    I wonder if the reversed "R" would make a difference?
  • Cashman1234

    Clubber - you make a good point - but I doubt it would make a difference. I think the corporate name uses an unreversed R. The similarity to the name of a large corporation - with lots of lawyers - would probably make for too many lawsuits.

    I think Toys R Us / Babies R Us legal team is a little too busy with the bankruptcy to worry about Boobies R Us clubs popping up. Maybe they could get something like $1/lap dance royalty in exchange for the naming rights to help them through their financial issues.

    Chartered Investment Manager... CIM

    When I see someone's title and it's like "John Smith, CIM" I can't help to not giggle.

    I got a new car recently and finally got the plates in the mail. Opened up the package and the first three characters were CBJ. Needless to say I was immediately turned off. :)
