Word: “U.P.S.” (As in United Parcel Service)
Usage: Spoken as a word (like the plural of “the opposite of down”) instead of just initials.

Me: “Umm, since the what drivers?”
Her: “You know, the ups drivers. The ups drivers are all on strike, so the ups managers and ups secretaries are all trying to make the ups deliveries.”
Me: “Huh?”
