Are we REALLY calling it STiD?

[Morpheus 02]

Are we really calling Star Trek Into Darkness STiD as an abbreviation??

It looks too much like STD for me to be comfortable with it...

 

[Dukhat]

You're welcome to call it whatever you want. As long as you go see it.

I'm calling it "the movie" or "the next movie" as often as not, but STID does have the advantage of being an accurate initialism of the movie's title.

It looks too much like STD for me...

Believe it or not, that similarity has been pointed out a time or two (or forty-two) already.

... to be comfortable with it...

Would you describe the discomfort as an itch... or more of a burning sensation?

 

[Kruezerman]

I call it Geoff.

I like Geoff.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

No one's calling it "STiD."

People are abbreviating it "STiD" on message boards.

When I actually call it something out loud, it's either "Into Darkness" or "the next Star Trek movie."

 

[Dream]

Just call it Khan Returns.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Star Trek The Second Second One

 

[Shazam!]

I'm calling it Star Trekin' To Darkness.

 

[SalvorHardin]

I call it Johny when we're alone.

 

[starburst]

Ive just been calling it "Into Darkness" or the next Star Trek...many people are simply calling it Star Trek 2.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

At least it isn't "Attack Into Darkness".

 

[F. King Daniel]

Ssstid. It's a word not an anacronym.

 

[BillJ]

I don't care what people call, it as long as its good.

 

[Tosk]

It's Trek 12 to me. I don't care, it's just easier.

 

[The Mirrorball Man]

I'm calling it DARKNESS. In all caps. That's what I call it. DARKNESS is the sequel to TREK. It works. It works for everything.

Star Wars: MENACE, CLONES, SITH, HOPE, EMPIRE, JEDI.

Star Trek: PICTURE, WRATH, SEARCH, VOYAGE, FRONTIER, COUNTRY, GENERATIONS, CONTACT, BOOBS, NEMESIS, TREK, DARKNESS.

I'm from a generation where STD was an accepted abbreviation for "standard". And candy bars were five cents. And full-service gasoline was 25.9 cents a gallon.

Just wear a rain jacket when you go to see it, and you'll be protected.

Oh...Waitaminnit, that sentence could be misinterpretted. Just to be clear, I didn't mean wear just a rain jacket. Wearing just a rain jacket to a movie theater could get you into trouble with the Police.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

They should've called it Star Trek Unto Darkness so we could call it [highlight]STUD[/highlight].

 

[Kruezerman]

Star Trek: PICTURE, WRATH, SEARCH, VOYAGE, FRONTIER, COUNTRY, GENERATIONS, CONTACT, BOOBS, NEMESIS, TREK, DARKNESS.

Hmm, I need to see BOOBS again...

 

[shapeshifter]

Thanks. I'm now reminded of a classic commercial I'd much rather never have remembered.
