Most of what people are talking here about are abbreviations, not acronyms. An acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced like a word: RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging), SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) and my two favorites, THRUSH (Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and Subjugation of Humanity) and SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion).

Acronyms can be words formed by the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words and pronounced as a separate word. Think NASA or SCUBA or FOMO. Then again, acronyms can be a set of initials representing a name, organization, or the like, with each letter pronounced separately. Think BDE or BBC.

It refers to a part of a drum kit.
Maybe a small snare mounted high?
I am not a drummer, tho, so unsure.

I'm thinking they meant "Obscure." Maybe not.

There are no stupid questions, but there are definitely stupid answers.
This one, for example.

It can get even worse. TB is terabyte where as Tb is terabit. Same with MB and Mb, GB and Gb ...

Stay healthy and stay safe.
