heard a Japanese streamer talk about "Spam It" for Super Famicom like it's a famous game we all love and I was confused until I realized he was saying スパメト as shorthand for SUPEr METroid

these abbreviations always make sense once you learn them but the first time they drop in conversation it always takes me a moment to do the mental math (especially when it's a celebrity's name!)
To be fair, there are multiple licensed Super Famicom games that are tie-ins with Japanese food brands to varying degrees of relevance gameplay-wise, so if someone told me that Spam It was, in fact, some cult classic among the Akiba crowd circa 1994 or something, I'd be hard pressed to dismiss them.
