Case closed!
"App" also made the list. Some of the submitters seemed angered by the presence of another abbreviation in their lives, while others argued that we have plenty of other words (such as "program") for the same concept.

Angered by abbreviations? I don't like "za" but this seems pretty tame to me. Equating it with "program" seems dumb, also. That's a fairly vague word compared to app, even restricting it to the sense of "computer program". Sounds archaic to me, too. We have scripts and applications and operating systems and utilities and database engines and (SHITTY FUCKING) forum code and . . .
