    2. Piss of China for having a formal name.

      I think it started as 1, but I’m confident that no lib knows about the CCCP anymore. It’s all tradition and spite now

      Interesting, I never made the connection to the CCCP… I guess it could have started that way and then devolved into what it is now.
