Macaroni and cheese and cheese
post
Mac is not an acronym.
It is only an abbreviation of macaroni.
Mac and Cheese would be redundant if it were an acronym.
Yeah, nobody would say the words of an acronym, like PIN number or ATM machine!
(you are correct)
There’s ATMs and there are ATM machines and you don’t want to get the two mixed up
Oh yeah the Access To Money machines that you see at sketchy convenience stores and whatnot usually have bizarrely high fees
Whereas Automated Teller Machines operated by established financial institutions are a little more trustworthy and reasonable
(I'm only a little bit joking)
PIN is an acronym. ATM is an initialism. Please pedant properly.
Same feeling with "VIN Number" ._.
Thank you for acknowledging my (fairly manageable) pain
I've never heard Mac and cheese referred to as 'mac'
think of all the hours that have been wasted in your life waiting for people to finish saying macaroni and cheese or saying the full thing yourself
It's Mac and cheese, but through sheer awesome coincidence it's also the correct acronym.
It's yara (yet another recursive acronym), not to be confused with the malware testing suit/programming language YARA (which stands for Yet Another Recursive Acronym)
The Mac in macaroni and cheese stands for macaroni and cheese
Macaroni and cheese and cheese
My 6 year old calls it "Mac'n" he drops the cheese
Also, keep in mind that the plural is macaronis and cheese
Nope, it's like fish.
No no, you've got it all backwards! The singular is macaron or macaronus. The plural is macaroni, like viri.
Next time you order Mac and cheese, say it right 😉
Yay, recursive acronym!
Like GNU’s Not Unix!
Wine is no emulator
"Mac'n'Chee"
Somewhat on the same topic, can someone explain how "asf" came about (meaning "as fuck")? I mean I get it, some lazy bums can't be bothered to type "AF" (with the capital letters), but why add an extra letter out of nowhere?
Mac is just a synonym for "good European food Amerikanized into cheap junk with chemicals."
Imagine! Why would one eat "Mac" when you can have pasta with sauce Mornay?
How is mac and cheese not pasta with mornay sauce?
Where in your usual Kraft package is the sauce mornay? There is hardly even anything in there that legally qualifies as cheese, just enough so they can't put behind bars for false claims of "and cheese".
I would assume someone talking about mac and cheese was referring to the dish rather than the kraft snack food
