this.cnt = Customer.newCnt();
…and so on.
This would normally be fine, but we were both raised Australian, and so keep misreading the abbreviation as a different word which you would use to refer to your best mate in certain social contexts.
I'm worried this is going to spill over into our everyday speech, and I'll start saying such inappropriate things like "yeah nah they're a good container", or "they're alright, but they can be a bit of a container at times".

@pjf @DevRhiana my wife was gifted a slim metal bangle some years ago with the phrase “TRY NOT TO BE A CUNT” stamped into it – “bangle” immediately became the euphemism de guerre in our house…
