I'd argue there's a stark difference between abbreviating words and adding extra ones. `p` as a shorthand for `person` is silly to me, but that doesn't mean that `personObject` would also be silly to me. I fundamentally don't agree with the premise that it's possible to be too verbose means that terseness is its own goal; the goal should be clarity, and I don't think that lossy abbreviations actually help with that except when someone already knows what the code is doing, in which case they don't need to read it in the first place.
