Unless it stands for something else on kdice, ELO stands for Electric Light Orchaestra

"The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess and Go.

"Elo" is often written in capital letters (ELO), but it is not an acronym. It is the family name of the system's creator, Árpád Élő (1903-1992), a Hungarian-born American physics professor." -- Wikipedia

Wait I still don't get it. If ELO is some dudes name then how can it be an acronym for Electric Light Orchestra? (What I meant to say was "Bump")

Acronyms can mean a lot of things, but the name of the rating system came from a name, that's why the quote said it is often written in caps but is not an acronym.

I my mind I have always said "KDice" in a Spanish/Italian way, so that it became "Que Dice?"
I incorrectly thought that meant, "What are you saying?"
After some translation, I know it doesn't.
That said, I also knew it had very little to do with the topic so my guess is that the K stands for Kilo and thus for a thousand.
