I still haven’t come up with a good acronym for “technically the legal services act says I’m a lawyer, but for all practical purposes I’m really not, unless you need help with patents and possibly other areas of IP law in a pinch”.

I thought that whole thing came from the US? I always see people from there saying ‘I am a lawyer, but I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice’ - as a requirement apparently. And then I’d assumed the IANAL was from people picking up on that…

First place I saw it in regular use was on Slashdot about 20 years ago where tech nerds kept arguing about the legal status of things.

I had to stop posting on Slashdot because you get extremely harshly moderated for knowing what you’re talking about wrt patents and stuff.

Do you mean you’ve read it before and thought it meant something else or that you imagined they were carrying their mother in a fireman’s lift?
