A light warm-up for team meetings and onboarding days. Every question is an acronym people hear at work, with four possible meanings to choose from. The explanations say what each term actually means in one line, which helps new starters and settles a few old arguments.

How to run it

Open a team meeting or a new starter session with it. It takes about 9 minutes and nobody needs to prepare.
After each answer, ask who uses that acronym every week and what it means in your company.
With new starters, add the acronyms your own company uses most as extra questions in the editor.
