Apparently, there are parts of this country where people refer to UPS (as in the delivery service) as "ups".

That's right, ladies and gentleman, as in rhyming with "cups".

WTF. Genuinely. baffled.

I felt the same way when I heard you and Jamie refer to AIM as "aim."

Bryce's mom has referred to the DOJ as "doj." As in, sounds like "dodge."

Where I come from (or rather where I used to work) everyone pronounced it with a long 'u', as in 'oops'. For very good reason!

I...wish I'd been paying attention to specific states when I heard it. D: Heard it yet again today!
