How do I reprogram an acronym in my brain?

What else would it mean?

Opium is my business. The bridge mean more traffic. More traffic mean more money. More money mean more power. Speed is important in business. Time is money. You said opium was money. Money is Money. Well then, what is time again? icalburner.net

I program for QuickBooks. I've worked with the POS version. The translation you're thinking of is correct.

Although the method is a little different, another related "quirk" is when people pronounce acronyms like words, but the words they sound like mean something COMPLETELY different if you're just overhearing it from over the cube wall. Example (I hear variations of this all the time): "Did you finish the BOM?"

I was having a real hard time keeping a straight face at a meeting with many business types. Finally someone clued me in the T&C meant Terms and Conditions. :doh:

For me, LSD means limited slip differential or light straight distillate, but most people think of something else. What other funny acronyms are there?
