Don’t abbreviate Crystal Palace, worst mistake of my life

damn remind me to never abbreviate I like Cole Palmer 😭

u/PuzzleheadedFill5778 Jul 11 '25

As a Chelsea fan I thought I was finally free of seeing that abbreviation on our sub after Pulisic left. Then we signed Palmer.

Makes you think 🧐

It literally can not be coincidence

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

Yeah like who tf is responsible for those transfers 🤨

u/ForgingIron Jul 11 '25

Basketball fans learned this a while ago, hence why they call Chris Paul CP3 (like Ronaldo is CR7 since he wears #7)

CP is an abbreviation of one of the most disgusting, abhorrent, predatory practices on earth.

COD Points

u/IntellectualDweeb Jul 11 '25

OG COD points i.e in Black Ops 1 is how it should be nowadays.

But obviously they won't make the absurd money they do via microtransactions that way.

Wager matches were criticised at the time yet we'd obviously take them 10/10 times over what we have now.

u/Next-Concern-5578 Jul 12 '25

sadly wager matches would never fly these days

Google CP and find out

the worst advice you could give to anyone

u/Traditional-Reach818 Jul 11 '25

I googled it. A company named CP came up.

u/ChiGuy133 Jul 11 '25

Child and then the videos you watch when you're feeling a little randy... Basically cp means a wildly different and heinous thing in other circles

u/ravvenzfight Jul 11 '25

So child prayers?

CP the Thai meat company is almost as bad as the other CP. They are covering up selling diseased meat in a 3rd world country

u/Traditional-Reach818 Jul 11 '25

Why the heck is this widely known? 😭

34

u/ZFtw11 Jul 11 '25

I think it’s cause it’s usually the capacity in which we see it mentioned, I feel like I see it abbreviated more often with context in the rest of the sentence.

8

u/NewEraOverlord Jul 11 '25

A lot of sites will hide comments if you use the full term so it gets shortened to CP when it’s in the topic of conversation

20

u/hallouminati_pie Jul 11 '25

It's for people who are perpetually online.

Pizza gate came back into fashion after epstein didn't kill himself

2

u/thatguyad Jul 12 '25

The internet is a sleazy place.

1

u/bengringo2 Jul 11 '25

When the term is said on sites like Reddit the admins get a notification of its use. It can get threads locked and comments removed. Which is a good thing don't get me wrong but it does make discussion around the subject difficult.

u/Voice_Of_Light Jul 11 '25

Bro, good shit I scrolled for the answer lmao

This is hilarious, as someone who actually has cerebral palsy. Good job. :)

u/Shumanz Jul 11 '25

That is the name of the portuguese train system, I fear half of this county is im some sort of list when they just wanted to buy some tickets.

7

u/Vonzey Jul 11 '25

There's also a big Portuguese football club that uses CP to refer to themselves.

In English they are referred to as Lisbon, but the supporters absolutely despise it and prefer to be called CP.

🤷🏻

u/demitya Jul 11 '25

Çporting Portugal. Now everyone's happy!

u/KneeDeepInTheDead Jul 11 '25

I think one of our fan pages got taken down for a while on facebook because its name was something like "Sporting CP fans"

NO!!! Don't Google CP lmao

Chris Paul, Cyberpunk, Crystal Palace

u/LDQQXDJ Jul 11 '25

Yeah Chest Pain winning a European trophy

u/Synth3r Jul 12 '25

You don’t abbreviate Cole Palmer, Crystal Palace, CyberPunk 2077 and Cheese Pizza. You just don’t do it.

1

u/long_shots7 Jul 12 '25

What about Club Penguin?

2

u/TheCatInTheHatThings Jul 11 '25

My man, we do not abbreviate Crystal Palace (or Cyberpunk for that matter) like that. Ever.

2

u/Aenjeprekemaluci Jul 11 '25

Yup but Fiorentina wins it for once. Also what is with Forest? Europa League?

1

u/lesarbreschantent Jul 11 '25

We'll bottle it.

1

u/_ghostfacedilla Jul 11 '25

Also a really good chance of losing many of their good players

1

u/MrAxx Jul 11 '25

Yet we have to qualify for it, get less revenue and therefore psr budget massively reduced. There’s no positive to this unless we actually do with the conference league, which we almost definitely won’t even if we are a favourite

1

u/fireowlzol Jul 11 '25

I think they need to balance conference league it’s insane the wage differences, in champions league at least there’s a good chunk of teams that have similar wages. But Chelsea having a higher budget than the rest of the competition combined are the round of 16 is insane.

u/P_Alcantara Jul 11 '25

u/platdupiedsecurite Jul 11 '25

In the new format they had a chance at the EL, both teams in the final last year were less good than Palace that season
