[GreenKeys] The Office of Silly Acronyms (BRPE)

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

In this postmodern tech world, I'm not only used to having to remember a lot of acronyms but pronouncing them and hearing them pronounced silly with a straight face. For example:

SQL (see-cwull), RHEL (rell), DDoS (dee-doss), SaaS (sass or sazz), PaaS (pass or pazz), NAS (nass or nazz), NACL (nack-ull), CIDR (cider or cedar), LACP (lacey-pee), and one a coworker and I made up for CoreOS (I know, not really an acronym): "See Oreos".

All this talk of BRPE the past week or two has me saying "burpee" now whenever I see the acronym. Surely I'm not the only one?
