    We’re in a Star Trek community. I think most people are going to understand those without an issue.

          Wouldn’t that exact point lend itself to the idea that spelling out obscure acronyms would be beneficial for people passingly curious to the conversation? Or is this some s-tier wagyu elite topic gatekeeping that must separate itself? I don’t think that’s very Federation of you, bud.

            Not everything needs to be explained every time it’s said. Language would be ridiculous if we had to define every word every time it’s used. Its pretty easy to search “Star Trek Disco” for example and learn what it means if you don’t understand it.
