It gives us paws, that we may reflect. What that give new meaning to 'dog-run'? Will they now nibble their kibble? Can when then, ever be truly bit? Oh Brave New World!

Nybble is a bit better (than nibble)...perhaps even four bits better

What do you call it? In polite company that is, I've got plenty of other names for it that I can't mention here.
Was speaking with a coworker and we got on the subject of Azure DevOps and how neither of us were sure what the proper abbreviation was for it. Both of us were trying to avoid typing the entire thing out each time we were discussing it in an email. ADO is already used, so that's out. AZDops or AzDO sound vaguely scatological.
Turns out that I'm not alone (Twitter)[^], glad to see that even Microsoft people have the same problem. I think the best suggestion there would be DevOps for Azure... or DOA.

You are discussing the wrong thing (whatever it is) in your emails.

Why not keep using VSTS? or just DevOps.
You could use ADO internally, as I'm sure you're not actually using that term daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly

I decided to approach it the same way I approach variable names, and call it what it is: TFS hosted on Microsofts servers.

Go with ADO. Sure, it's already used, but many acronyms are reused.

True enough, someone else mentioned above mentioned the same thing. Plus, the context it gets used in should be clear for anyone who isn't intentionally trying to be a PITA.
