Plottwist: ISMO is an acronym for: International Smart Man Overseas

Same for us in Germany. Took me several years to understand that Ufo is actually an acronym 🤣

Ufo is initials. Acronym is when initials make a word like.... scuba or radar.

Just came back from his show at the Improv in Brea. I don’t think I ever laughed this hard in my whole life.

When I moved to the US from Italy I was so confused by all these acronyms. We have few but nothing in compared with how many of them are used in the US (even the country is an acronym). What is funny about Ismo for a foreigner is that we find all the same challenges no matter where we are from, here in the great US (but we still are here because in the end is still a great place).

We Finns still use the word ufo as a synonym for an alien, perhaps because Finnish word for an alien is avaruusolio (space creature), so ufo is much shorter. Ufopornoo! (Finnish comedy) m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWmJzaNrd8qTc8Y.html&pp=ygUJVWZvcG9ybm9v

@@jeniferpaguia892 Italy could be the best place in the world, so much culture, history, cousine, paintings, sculptures, mountains, hills, seas, and so forth and so on. BUT, Italians live in the past, no immagination, corruption, fear of innovation, fear of strangers, ignorance (40% of Italian have learned in the school only for 8 years), the catholic church, foreign policy decided by the Americans, economic policy by the Germans, all that is leading Italy to a sharp decline. I know, I am very strict with my country, and I would be even if I were Norwegian or a US citizen about these nations. But the Italy I would like exists in the minds of few, too bad! But you can cry looking at what remains of the ancient times; so at least Italy is a much safer place than the United States for example, feel free to visit us, it will always be an emotion to contemplate the beauty of this country. Greetings from Rome

In Finland they even went a step further and created UFOPORNO.

It is true. Americans really love their Acronyms.

Same in Greece!

Same in Germany U-f-o 😆

What a trademark to just simply analyse what we say each day.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I recently watched the old 1970 TV series "UFO", with SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organization ) protecting the world from UFOs. Although it was a mix of American and British cast members, I found it interesting that they too pronounced the acronym "UFO" as "oooofo".

We pronounce almost all acronyms like the words they produce instead of each individual letter in Finland. I think it's because of how good our writing system is where every letter is always pronounced the same.

Yes, this language has tons of them! You could "proly" do a whole show on just that (Yes, we also Shorten-words, Yikes!)

Is HIV pronounced "heev" or something?

The only actual acronym was UFO, and to be more precise, the way he said it like a Finnish person would. Because that's what acronyms are. Abbreviations that can be said like words.

Tämä pätkä kuullosta siltä kuin Yoda olisi heittämässä vitsiä lavalla.

ISMO is an acronym too: I say many Oh-oh!

We do the same in Sweden, but not with all acronyms. It's ufo, but it's not usa, we do say U.S.A. We pronounce each letter in Swedish, though.

No KLM this time? Because it's an acronym for Royal Dutch Airlines you know... 😅😂

We here in Hungary also say "ufo" instead of "U.F.O.", in exactly the same way🙂 Is it a Finno-Ugric thing then? 🙂

We use acronyms in politics but to avoid them we use nicknames.

Of course we say 'ufo', it's shorter that way!

Chinese and Japanese also say Ufo

Take off the forced subtitles, and make proper ones which we can select or DESELECT in the CC area. . Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation. 🙂

U F O but not N A S A

I use chatgpt when typing with americans. They use 3 letters words a lot. 😅

Most of these are not acronyms (except UFO as he said it). They’re just abbreviations. All acronyms are abbreviations, but not all abbreviations are acronyms.

This is how people type messages these days. Way too confusing for me who type full sentences.

The French also use too many acronyms. I even saw the same acronym for two different things in the same little safety book from a French company. EPI : "Equipement de Protection Individuelle" which are safety equipment (helmet, goggles, gloves...) and "Equipier de Première Intervention" which is the non-professional firefighter/medic. WTF LMAO !

Hi Ismo. These examples are initials. Acronym is when the initials create a word we say, like.... scuba, radar, sonar. If we just say the first letters its initials. Love your comedy.

And that's not even an acronym. It's the first three letters of yleisradio. It's just lazyness.

Most of these are abbreviations not acronyms. An acronym is an abbreviation which makes a word, like radar, laser, sonar etc.

The English language is lost. It's ridiculous, not the intended "cool". Too lazy to write the full word or to dumbed down 🤔? It saves like 0.00000054 seconds. Same with the grammar. There, their, they're, we were now was, of instead of have, no third irregular verb form anymore... To name but a few. Scary and unnecessary.

A yes. Americans. Words are too tiresome. Let's just nod and mimic.

Dude I love your comedy, but you gotta stop posting these minute long videos. Hardly worth a click bro. Please make longer videos mate...

Acronyms supposed to make sentence or something shorter, like less syllables. What about www.what ever. Actually saying- World Wide Web is way shorter than abbreviation. And people's names - JP, CJ, JFK and etc. 😉
