Why do so many people abbreviate 'Mercedes-Benz' as 'MBZ'??

[JC]

<irritation> I know the 'M' is for 'Mercedes'...the 'B' is for 'Benz'....so what's the 'Z' for?!? </irritation>

Obviously, the correct abbreviation is 'M-B' 😉

Who started perpetuating this crap, anyway?

Same reason people call a GTO a "Goat" I guess. Where's the fvcking A coming from? And can't they see that the T comes BEFORE the O? I'm visiting www.goatfarm.com expecting some hot goat pr0n and all I get is some auto parts store. :disgust:

Viper GTS

Pontiac GTO

Mustang GTS

I assume they evolved from 'GT' which stood for "grand touring" (or some variation of that).

MB = motherboard, Milton Bradley, megabyte

MBZ = no doubt, a benz.

PSX was the code name for the system when it was in development. The X was just there to sound cool, I guess.
