Not specifically this podcast, but my work has an acronym ASS for something. I have no idea what it means, but I keep thinking "ass" whenever I see it in the code.

Might be my own brain's fault, but SPF (sun protection factor on sunscreens) is too similar to SPH (strategically placed hole) for my brain not to read SPF as "strategically placed fuckhole"
