COSTCO is really an acronym for...

Utter horse shit.

Costco started out in Seattle as Price Club, then changed it.

If the bullshit about China in the OP was true, COSTCO would be COTCO because Overseas is one word, not two.

It's a great conspiracy theory! Promote the hell out of it with the gullible! As for overseas, read it as OverSeas. That is the O and S are used in the acronym you moron.

Acronyms and initialisms - Sketchplanations

An acronym is a shortened form of a phrase or name that's pronounced as a word and made up of the initial letters of each word. For example, "ELISA," "AIDS," and "GABA" are all acronyms.

Here are some things to know about acronyms:
  • Pronunciation: Acronyms are pronounced as words, while initialisms are pronounced as individual letters. For example, "DNA" and "RT-PCR" are initialisms.

    • Spelling: Acronyms are often written in all caps with no punctuation.
    • Usage: Acronyms are used in many contexts, but some criticize organizations for using too many acronyms.
    • Examples: "WYSIWYG" is an acronym for "what you see is what you get".
