Acronyms

[Hades]

Rather than take the Ukraine thread off topic I thought I'd start a separate thread on funny acronyms.

Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

I was today years old when I realised ATACMS is an acronym for "attack them's". Yes I'm slow.

I'll throw in another, although it's not really an acronym. While I was working at a bank in the 2000's they introduced a new intranet, meant to help with the transformation of the company and exchange of ideas. Some bright spark had the great idea to start the web page addresses with... https://transexchange.

So... any funny acronyms you have come across?

OP creates a thread about funny acronyms but only provides a funny portmanteau.

As this is kinda my fault, I'll quote my post from the other thread that started this:

The worst effort I have seen (which I was forced to notify to management, despite personally finding it very funny) was: Pupil Assessement and Examinations Development Officer.

Coventry University Netball Team was a pretty decent one before the fun was ended by someone figuring it out.

As pointed out in my opening sentence, it was created to stop another thread going off topic as we started talking about acronyms etc there. So not pointless. Even if this thread dies a horrible death the point was to keep the other thread on topic and move discussion here.

Thanks for your top contribution though. Good job.

Old story, but in the 1980's there was a PC company called 'Wang Computers'. Allegedly their service arm was to be called Wang Care until the UK sales force couldn't stop laughing during meetings.

At my old gov job, time would be taken to try to get the most inappropriate sounding package names/ stored procedure names/ app names, that would then be shortened at which point oh my... lol.

I blame Rodney and Delboy for starting it all with Trotters Independent Traders.

Not an anagram but it makes me cry.

Acronym..... lol stupid

Susan Boyle's PR people are probably wishing they had re-read their promotional hashtag after missing its alternative message to Twitter users.
Causing great mirth on the social network on Thursday, the unfortunate choice of hashtag #Susanalbumparty to promote the singer's new album event has spawned a wealth of mock invites to the party and ridicule. Gawker reports the rumour-bashing site Is Twitter Wrong (run by @flashboy) managed to track down the original tweet from Susan's account, which was hastily changed to #SusanBoylesAlbumParty.

Wonder if they had a Youth squad?

On another forum, whilst discussing who was paying for all the cycling infrastructure, I suggest that cyclists could be made to pay a Cycling Utilities & Network Tax ...
