I have Celiac Disease. This means that all of the food I eat has to be Gluten Free. Gluten Free = no wheat, no barley, no malt. The point is, whenever I see "GF" instead of the common "girlfriend" meaning, I always think "Gluten Free."

Anyone else have similar situations? Like an acronym used for something at work (LOL maybe)?

I always think Charge-Parity violation, yet I also work in Linux a lot so I guess there's no reason for me to think that way.

I've been corrupted by a certain image-board in this case as they use the acronym there a lot. ;)
