Are you having FOMO? (FYI, AFAIK, I think I don’t.)
赤ペン先生が唐突にこんなクイズを出してきました。
赤ペン先生: Do you know what "FOMO" means?
私: FOMO...🤔? F... F... F... Ummm... I don't know.
赤ペン先生: It means "Fear Of Missing Out". For example you know I am checking the whisky shop websites all the time right? I just found the good deal but I promised you not to buy any more. So even though I really want it now with that good price, I won't buy it. And I am afraid the price will go up later on. It's right there and I am missing out.
Seems like this acronym is slightly new. It's more likely used for social media.
私: I see. Everybody is doing or talking about it and if you are not, you feel like being left out and "oh my god. I have to do it!" like that. I though you were talking about the group. Are they a group? They are not the band right? FLMOA or something like that. You know what I am talking about right?
赤ペン先生: I know but you are so wrong. It's LMFAO.
私: That's the one. ML...
赤ペン先生: Wrong!! LMFAO! LMFAO!
私: L...M...FAO... Grrr... 🤪🤪 It's like a tongue twister.
赤ペン先生: Do you know what it means?
私: Laughing... Mother... Fxxxing...
赤ペン先生: Close. Laughing My Fxxxing Ass Off. Like Whahahahaha!!!!🤣🤣🤣

abbreviation って単語は知らなかったのですが、acronym との違いがイマイチちょっと分からないです。
