On November 10, 2018 there was a Pearls Before Swine cartoon about five acronyms. As shown above, one was FOMO, which really does mean the Fear Of Missing Out. The other four were humorous but commonly refer to something different.
FOBO refers to Front Office Back Office rather than Fear Of
Being Oblong. FOCO refers to a business that is Franchise Owned (and) Company
Operated rather than Fear Of Carefree Otters. FODO really is the Fear Of
Disappointing Others rather than Fear Of Demoralizing Oatmeal, although there is
another cartoon called The Oatmeal. FOFO means to Find Out For Oneself rather
than Fear Of Family Occasions.
I easily came up with another three (shown above). The usual source for an urban legend is a Friend Of A Friend.
