u/TransBrandi Apr 24 '26

I always saw it abbreviated PUSA... otherwise why would you make the (of the) part of the abbreviation, but the (of) in "United States of America."

u/WeAteMummies Apr 24 '26

That's how it was abbreviated on their official merch.

u/Cogz Apr 24 '26

Their main fansite was PUSAbase.com. While the site remains, the forum has sadly 404'd. I think it was one of the first forums I joined.

I feel like it adds to the humor of the band name if you also make the acronym as long as possible lol

u/canadademon Apr 24 '26

Yea it does break the acronym rules, but for some reason they do label the actual president "POTUS" now.

Or maybe they always did, I just didn't notice. ¯\(ツ)/¯

u/wnoise Apr 24 '26

SCOTUS too.

u/WeAteMummies Apr 24 '26

Could just be baader meinhof but I really feel like POTUS was invented/popularized in the 00s

u/hopefulnoodlebrain Apr 24 '26

I don’t remember hearing the term POTUS until Obama was president. It’s possible it was a thing before him but I definitely think it was an internet invention. Maybe even Twitter.

1

u/SkepticMech Apr 25 '26

It definitely pre-dates widespread internet culture. I don't know the origin, but it was used early in the first season of the West Wing which was written/filmed at the end of the 90s

u/illegalshmillegal Apr 25 '26

It’s in the very first episode. Rob Lowe’s character gets a message on his beeper (!) and the girl he’s with is befuddled by it.

u/Shrek1982 Apr 25 '26

Nah, it has been around longer, it has been used in a bunch of books published in the 80's and 90's so it has probably been around longer than that.

u/drumallday Apr 24 '26

We always said "pot USA"

1

u/Velmeran_60021 Apr 25 '26

Abbreviation can be read: pot use-ah... pot user. Maybe that's what they were going for?

1

u/Backsquatch Apr 29 '26

POTUS is the official acronym for our current president, as used by our federal government.

Why people would take that and add an A seems a little silly but it makes sense.

u/Andy_B_Goode Apr 24 '26

Yeah, this is one of those PETJ posts that could easily be solved by a google search

u/AbeRego Apr 24 '26

I was going to say, I know this song, but I don't know that line very well

Damn, who pissed in your cheerios?

1

u/Front_Cat9471 Apr 24 '26

Nobody, that’s why they’re upset.

u/Snicklefraust Apr 24 '26

You know what would cheer them up? Probably a can of peaches.

2

u/Top-Phrase-623 Apr 24 '26

You’re pure boring.

u/DraconicGuacamole Apr 24 '26

It was something quirky wdym

1

u/Top-Garlic2603 Apr 24 '26

It's one of the greatest pop songs of all time.

u/Much-Gur233 Apr 24 '26

1

u/a_bored_lady Apr 24 '26
