It's only really going on on SA rn but it's blatantly political: "I don't want to re litigate [X]"

An honest person would just say they didn't want to talk about something, but they've got to impress all the people dimmer than themselves (who also learned the word the same way and abuse it in the same fashion).

This is new to me because I never knew what the abbreviation meant either way. So thanks.

Just FYI, an acronym has to be pronounced as a word. Funnily enough, I was looking up some text shorthand the other day and thefreedictionary didn't know the difference between acronyms and abbreviations.

Oh man, haven't heard that one. Sounds like the people who mistake speaking your piece with your "peace". As in, people who don't know the expressions they are using.

'Truthiness' was a word made from a comedian playing a character for a 'USA #1 Proud to be an American' comedy news show that has been off the air for loving years and people use that phrase seriously.
