I was pretty stoned reading this and I’m also new to the subreddit so it took me a second to realize what the abbreviations stood for. Then I thought to myself “am I smart enough for r/space?” Then I felt stupid for even pausing at what the abbreviations stood for once I figured out that it was big hog and elvish hovel.

Needless to say, this comment validated my feelings, but damn do I like this subreddit.

Suggestion for next time to help the readers: With the first usage include the abbreviation in parentheses, then use the abbreviation.

Example: words... words... "black hole (BH)"... words... words... words... "BH"...
