    I have a strong dislike for acronyms. When I worked for a pension provider, company meetings were a nightmare with so many being used in presentations. It annoyed me that the speaker was assuming everyone knew what they meant. I often had no clue what they were talking about, as I'm sure a lot of others felt the same. Being 60 at the time I just kept interrupting to ask what they were saying, otherwise there was no point me being there. They soon stopped.

    Title is misleading, this might be deciphering, decoding or some other title that indicates you need to know what the acronym stands for. It is not unscrambling. But, fun nonetheless. Thanks!

    25 correct ones. But, honestly, it's taken me quite a few trips to google during the last few years to learn most of those. I guess I should thank my fellow BPs for having me googling all those words so I could have so many correct answers. Lol

    For those of a certain age and geographic location, TMI also means Three Mile Island.

    25/30 the only reason i clicked on this was because i was hoping that laser(light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) or lcd(liquid crystal display) would be on here, but I guess not :/

    25/30, Failing GIF and CEO was awful because I knew them but I doubted. Also NBA, IRL and FOMO. Whatever.

    Did bad on the technology-related acronyms but 100% on the international and national organisations. Yes, I know, I'm old :)

    29/30 because itchy trigger finger clicked wrong answer even though I knew it. TBH... I just clicked "honest" without reading properly...

    A lot of these were old ones which I already knew. I thought this would be more upto date ones.

    30! Not bad for a boomer :) NVM isn't strictly an acronym, that would just be "NM", it's a contraction. James Bond also uses the acronym YOLT.
