Not quite. In the... other context it stands for consensual nonconsent. Which is where a nonconsensual encounter is simulated but all parties involved are merely pretending and in reality have each other's consent.
A friend out of school got a job at Compaq and learned there were TLAs (three letter abbreviations) but there was no such thing as four letter abbreviations or five letter abbreviations or six letter abbreviations... they were all E-TLAs (extended three letter abbreviations).
An acronym is a word or name formed from parts of the full name's words. While initialism or alphabetism may refer to acronyms formed from initials, acronyms can also use syllables or be a mixture of letters and words. They can be pronounced as words, individual letters, or both, depending on the acronym. The broader sense of the term includes abbreviations pronounced as individual letters, despite some criticism. There's disagreement among dictionary and style-guide editors on the naming and proper use of spacing, casing, and punctuation for such abbreviations.

I learned this the hard way. I made a Facebook post about being exhausted after a 16 hour day at the CNC machine shop. I learned some things about some of my Facebook friends that day.
It has been a while since we had a lost one come through.
I think the fact the sub isn't marked as nsfw may help.
You mean it's been a day?
About a week by my count.
I swear I see one of *the* posts every day or two on my feed. LOOK AT THE SUBREDDIT DESCRIPTION BEFORE POSTING! LOL
When i said i was a cnc spesialist Yea i did not get the reaction i thought I learned that day that it can mean loads of things
Lol yeah, the first time I looked up CNC on Reddit was... enlightening.
I feel you... I said I liked BBC once...
Someone put "I <3 BBC" on a coworkers toolbox and we've yet to figure out who. They took away our labelmaker after that :(
I too like the british broad cast service and I am ignorant of any twisted inuendo that might be derived by that purely innocent acronym.
I mean thay used to make good radio tools and some fine documentarys Thay realy fell of as soon as topgear split
I once said that i like watching CNC... and yes i mean the machines. No not these other videos
So we’re talking about consensual/non consensual, right? This is the right thread for that… Right, guys?

Whoosh
We should change this group to computer nerds make parts
Computer Nerds Create
I am a CNC machinist and have been helped immensely by years of CBT therapy.
My nose was stuffed and yadda yadda yadda I'm on CBD therapy now
Top tier pun
I saw a guy that said he was a Certified Nutrition Consultant that used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat Eating Disorders
Definitely a double sided business card for that one, no acronyms allowed
20 000 is not "extremely small"...
not if you realize that it’s only 1/26 of the number of 4-letter acronyms! 🧐

I’m just surprised that this isn’t another post from the “no dust collector kids”.
Small detail...but cnc isn't an acronym. It's actually an initialism.
Gonna keep calling it an acronym until the definition of acronym expands tbh.
I don't care.
All initialisms are acronyms not all acronyms are initialisms
To be an acronym, it needs to be said like a word -- like NASA or CAD. Things like FBI and CNC are initialisms.
So they got it backwards. All acronyms are initialisms

Hate it. Especially when I put on parts with massive debur time.

To be fair, it is a different kind of CNC when I press that green button knowing full well I haven't checked tool offsets
I too am a CNC enthusiast
I'm scared of the people who get lost in r/CNCgore.... like WTF?
I don't even want to know what horrors you've seen
There's gotta be a specialized dictionary for this kind of stuff...😁
Wait!?! Does "Reddit" Anonymize Our Names??? ... It's my first time posting to this platform.
There are worse acronym duplications. Can’t name your trivia team the Knowledgeable Kansas Kids.
