Abbreviations/chopped words that really annoy

* Gratz! - Congrats, already abbreviated enough, is not short enough for you?

* That's a beaut. - Really man? Are you so lazy that you can't even add a single letter to the damn word to make it complete?

Strangely, these do not bother me. I seldom here any of those mentioned above. What does annoy me is the frequent use of acronyms without spelling out what you mean. Frankly, I think it is a sign of narcissism or trying to look knowledgeable. Intentional misspelling of words DOES annoy me. KOOL or boi for boy, as if you write rap lyrics for a living.

Sorry for the slight thread drift.

I remember 'That's a beaut' being a common spoken expression around here when I was a kid in the 60's.
