    Demo is used as an abbreviation for both demonstration and demolition. Usually it’s pretty obvious which one is intended, but every time I hear someone say “demo” I try to imagine what kind of chaos would result if the wrong usage was assumed.

      “We’re having a demo in the break room in five minutes people!”

      5 min later

      Boom!

      “OMG why are there so many dead bodies? I told everyone to stay clear of the break room!”
