I see this ad sometimes and I would like to know what the acronyms are.

5I don't know about the first word but I assumed the second word was "bliss". – ChrisF♦ Dec 29 '10 at 15:42

2Are you saying that FML is not an acronym? – Bryan Field Dec 30 '10 at 1:59

3Did anyone else think Bliss was BWSS? I spent a few minutes Googling some crazy acronym – georgiecasey Jan 16 '11 at 7:43

@random: I can't find any evidence that FML is any less of an acronym than NATO is. Have a look at the Wikipedia article. – oKtosiTe Jan 30 '11 at 23:20

That whole Wikipedia article explains the difference between acronyms and initialisms @okt – random Jan 30 '11 at 23:24

Actually, it explains that there doesn't appear to be a fixed definition of an acronym. @random – oKtosiTe Jan 31 '11 at 6:58

I thought it was BWSS too. If it didn't mean anything before, it will now. ;) – Jim Raden Mar 4 '11 at 18:26
The second looks like the word "bliss" to me (i.e. not an acronym), and the first is probably an acronym for "f*** my life".

1@jinguy: I like it too, it's just a bit... startling for a careers ad, now that I know what it actually means. Perhaps that was the intended effect. – user102937 Dec 29 '10 at 15:58

6The first time I saw it I thought the slider was interactive and tried to fiddle around with it... – Yi Jiang Dec 29 '10 at 16:17

The first is most definitely an acronym for 'F*ck My Life'. And the second is the word 'Bliss'. They are essentially two opposite ends of the job satisfaction spectrum.
