Just realized this about abbreviations

So today in Chemistry class we were doing a lab with acid/base indicators. One of them was named bromothymol blue and was labelled on the bottle BTB. Obviously I immediately thought of a Barbarous Thorn Blade. So now here I am looking up alternatives to the list of commonly used abbreviations on the wiki. Enjoy!
AoA: Ash of Agni or Administration on Aging
AP: Argent Peacemaker or Advanced Placement
BC: Blackened Crest or Before Christ
BTB: [SEE ABOVE]
BTS: Barbarous Thorn Shield or Bureau of Transportation Statistics
DA: Divine Avenger or District Attorney
DR: Dark Reprisal or Doctor
CIC: Cold Iron Carver or Commander In Chief
CIV: Cold Iron Vanquisher or 104
CoA: Crest of Almire or Coenzyme A
DVS: Dread Venom Striker or DVShoes
FoV: Fang of Vog or Field of Vision
GF: Gran Faust or girlfriend
GOS: Grey Owlite Shield or Galactooligosaccharides
LB: Leviathan Blade or pound
RSS: Radiant Sun Shards or Really Simple Syndication
SB: Shivermist Buster or antimony
SSB: Swiftstrike Buckler or Super Smash Bros.
VV: Venom Veiler or W
VPS: Volcanic Plate Shield or Virtual Private Server
WRH: Warmaster Rocket Hammer or Waterford Regional Hospital

TL;DR? SUMMARY: abbreviations are fun when used in real life

its covered in Acids and Bases :P

@Diamondshreddie
Yeah, I'm in university level Chemistry courses and we don't even bother with that much. It's usually something like "give me the blue one," or even "blue please!"

"grade 11 chemistry"
Eh? I was only able to take chemistry at grade ten in high school. Where I live, you have to have two terms of each of biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics, so I never got to an "11th grade chem". I never was familiar with that parlance in my three terms of chem in college either. I must have missed something.
BTB=bromthymol blue
who does this? I'd expect "hey give me that indicator" or "hey give me the bromthymol" but not "BTB PLOX".
