USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 year agoEdit: changed “STD” to “discovery” as apparently we’re in middle school
Buddy, considering how absolutely childish the moniker “STD” has always been, you’ve got no ground to whine here.
Secondly, at least in middle school, children are taught the meaning of the word, “objectively.”

May be that way for a native English speaker I guess. I have never used it or seen it used as a moniker.

Interesting theory. If you’d never previously seen “Discovery” called STD, what made you choose it?

Maybe the fact that the three words in the title are Star Trek Discovery? It’s not a ridiculous notion.

There is no other Trek that follows that name convention. We don’t call “Voyager” STV or “Enterprise” STE. For me to believe that someone had a) never seen someone use STD applied to Disco pejoratively and, b) decided to use that abbreviation when DIS, DSC, and Disco are all far more common, I would have to be convinced that this is their first week discussing Star Trek on the internet.
