OJ

Squeezed citrus beverage

OJ is informal for orange juice, especially in breakfast contexts: I'll have eggs and OJ.

The abbreviation is spoken as two letters.

OJ also refers to O.J.

Simpson, the former football star whose 1995 murder trial became a cultural phenomenon: the OJ trial, the OJ verdict.
