Great website for all that is Hollywood. It has information on every actor and every movie. You will find it fascinating. Let’s say you want to watch every John Wayne movie. You can look him up and every acting credit is listed. Ronald Reagan? Done. It’s awesome.

You silkscreen the t-shirts. We’ll start a business in the barn!

Let everyone know they can get in on the bottom floor of this Microsoft-like enterprise, LOL!

[napscoordinator]

Oops didn’t mean to post twice. I thought original got deleted before pressing post. iPhone issues I thought.

“Do people claim at some point after 1976 he considered himself a woman.”

I’d like to know how he managed to marry (and satisfy!) three straight women through the years? I mean, he sure was pretty - but who wants a husband prettier than they are? LOL!

Ask that whack job AOC. She seems to know all the new “dumbAss” lingo phrases.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Thanks, all. I had never heard of this site, but I’ll definitely check it out.

[Lockbox]

....... don’t get me started on the pronoun abuse!

[LukeL]

Every true, as there may be another meaning for that acronym. It is even proper in technical journals where nearly 100% of the readership would be aware of what your acronyms mean.

I’m glad IMDB is standing up to them. These trans folks are incredibly controlling and demanding. Veruca Salt had nothing on them.

[wally_bert]

I like really old movies, TV shows, and OTR and run the names to see what kicks back.

[dp0622]

It’s pretty common.

I don’t assume they think everyone will know them.

Just anyone that would read this.

And the whole scenario is insane anyway.

You’re not missing anything

IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) is not an acronym.

An acronym is a word formed from the initial and/or second letters of other words, e.g. Laser from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation or Radar from Radio Detection And Ranging.

Would you like to know what “FBI” stands for?

[Olog-hai]

Say, if a “trans actor” lands a job, is that a transaction?

[marajade]

Pres Trump actually has 22 acting credits!

[missthethunder]

I use it when we see someone who looks familiar but we can’t
remember what movie or tv show it was.

[wally_bert]

Quinn Martin shows were really good about introducing people.

Part of the reason, I like those shows.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

It fits your own definition of an acronym.

As it happens, I already knew what FBI generally stands for, but I would still expect a writer to define it, or any acronym or abbreviation, the first time it is used.

[KC Burke]

Remember of South Park the procedure for calling “shenanigans”? I thing we should institute a procedure for calling “Fruit Loops.”

[fella]

The truth is the truth.

KGBMedia of America. = = = Oops. you did not define KGB. I can help: Комите́т Госуда́рственной Безопа́сности (КГБ)
