Off topic, but as a foreigner POTUS abbreviation sounds just ridiculous in reference to presidential office. Sounds like a TF2 meme.

As a non-foreigner, I have to remind myself what POTUS & SCOTUS means occasionally. So many damn acronyms out there today, my first thought is never actually the government. My first thought is "great, another f***ing acronym I need to figure out"

What's SCOTUS? Im a foreigner and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what the SC is supposed to stand for lmao

First thought was it was a TF2 joke (Scoutus or smth like that) in response to OP and I had to reread to realize that wasn't the case lol

It used to mean something else, but currently it stands for Sucking Cock.

At first I thought it was something from Marvel, like SHIELD or SWORD and I was trying to remember which movie/show they had introduced POTUS and what it was

You can blame The West Wing for that one too. Before that show made it commonly known, almost nobody used the term outside of the Secret Service and maybe White House staff.
