DIS or DSC?

DSC

 

Which I thought was the case when I saw a production photo from the cast that had printed T-shirts read "DISCO"


If the series is making it clear than why shouldn't we?

 

I use Disco as a nickname when it strikes me.

Should I ever go to Convention again in the future, I'm wearing a Disco T-Shirt to repel the "STD sucks!" crowd away from me.

 

DISCO but not Disco.

 

DSC or DISCO seem reasonable to me.

 

Enterprise shirts should say ENTE

People who use DSC and VGR also have to use ETP instead of ENT, PCD instead of PIC, ISR instead of INS, BYD instead of BEY...

 

As someone who speaks German and likes ducks I agree!

 

Yep, DSC is definitely Used in the show, but more importantly it is confirmed as the correct abbreviation by the creators.

 

I personally use ST: D.

Not for any puerile reason but because that's the naming structure I've predominantly used for all the shows dating all the way back when ST:TNG originally aired.

ST (for Star Trek) : (initials for the other part of the title)

 

Hm, when it comes to VGR, I always think of TPM...

 

Disco or DSC are my go to

 

But that's "in-universe," and we are not.

Kor

 

Ok.

 

also GNS and NMS of course

 

I think you should put the D further to the left.

 

I usually prefer those

Have you met fandom? Overly convoluted explanations is always preferred

 

DSC.

 

DSC... meh. Well,m not really "meh" but let's get back to that in a moment.

"DISCO" - the shirts look stupid, and are also about 40 years out of date as this isn't Studio 54... Really, how many of the Excalibur wore shirts reading "EX" on them? Or better yet, the Lexington so they'd all have shirts that remind the viewer of Superman's greatest foe because, snarf snarf, fourth wall so cooool and fuddny.

DIS comes across as its acronym, and seeing people running around with "DIS" on their shirt might send the wrong messages... so I'll try not to dis it any more...

Then again, running around wearing shirts reading "STD"... can't get any worse than that. Seeing Sargent Syph running with Captain Clap is not something most people would want to tune into every week... unless it's my ex...

DSC just seems to be the best. Not just because there's no humor in it. It is the better sounding abbreviation and suits the show the best. The other possible terms... waaay out there too much IMHO.

 

Three years and I finally have my go-to argument. Short, simple, and to the point. Thanks @Qonundrum!


From now on, I'm going to put it like this: "Which one would you want to have as a T-shirt?" I guarantee you no one wants to walk around in a T-Shirt that says "STD". And, if you are, you're probably not anyone I want to know.
