acronyms
 

I like acronyms. They are part of everyone's daily lingo. Two ways to go with this...Take a well-known acronym and show clever alternatives, e.g...

FBI is most commonly known as Federal Bureau of Investigation

There is also:


The other way is to share less commonly known acronyms.
My favorite acronym saying is RHIP:


There is also
DSL
IDB

So, please add yours, entertain us all.

MPB: Male Pattern Baldness

I use this for guys in their 40's - 50's driving convertible sports cars or trying to dress "hip" when they are obviously past the age of making their clothes work for them. Pretty much a guy struggling with mid-life crisis.

UCLA: University of California Lost to Asians (enter BDJ with the USC variations)

ILWU: Idiotic, Lame, Whiny and Useless (International Longshore and Warehouse Union)

NAACP: Niggers Are Always Complaining Pathetically

OSHA: Oh Shit, Hail Attorney

CHP: California Headache Provider

JILF

DELTA-Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport
IBM- I Blame Microsoft

Or a reversal, Acronyms that make up funny words

Fire Alarm Response Team-F.A.R.T.
Film Actors Guild-F.A.G. (from Team America...PHUK YEAH!!!)

When someone is being a twat about something we would say. You don't have to be C U Next Tuesday about it.

You "like" acronyms? Like, is it a hobby?

Thenextlee, FUCK is actually an acronym. Back in the medieval ages, people needed the king's blessing to have sex, since they were worried about over population (something we should look into today). FUCK actually means "Fornicating Under the Consent of the King".

Re: acronyms
 

yea i knew there was another acronym for it but For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was one also, think it was put up on the stocks for people when they were caught committing adultry. I cant remember what country though atm.

it was also the name of a Van Halen album :kornut: :kornut:

Re: acronyms
 

Acronyms can useful when used within a specific situation but as a technician, I find people who use them when they are only specific to their own job or product line nonsensical.
A few good ones
FUBB - "Fucked up beyond belief"
FUBYOYO - "Fuck you buddy, your on your own"
