I always thought LGTM meant "Let's Get This Money!" and not "Looks Good To Me!" but I suppose either interpretation works in most cases.

I thought it was "Let's Get This Merged" and commented it on my own PR once.

Well, I assume you wouldn't submit a PR if it didn't look good to you, so the acronym is appropriate...

I thought it meant "Let's Get This Merge" like it was a play on "let's get this bread". I know it stands for "Looks Good To Me" now but I still prefer my reading :)

It's an ambiguous acronym. I've used it both ways.

All the front page Google results appear to say Looks Good To Me

https://www.cyberdefinitions.com/definitions/LGTM.html

Urban Dictionary does have Let's Get This Merged as its second definition, but it's at a net of -121 points, whereas Looks Good To Me is at net 941, and was added 10 years earlier. That doesn't seem ambiguous to me.

First time I hear "Let's Get This Money!" is a thing.

I once briefly thought it was "Let's GoToMeeting" -- like they want to schedule a call over it.
