Funny acronyms

[Beam]

Was over in the UK for a three day course. Always good to learn something new on the English language. And to get inspiration for a new thread. This one about funny acronyms.

Description of the scenery in Scotland:
MAMON - Miles And Miles Of Nothing.

Style of running a project:
JFDI - Just F***ing Do It.

This one I picked up in a mag years ago:
PCMCIA - People Cannot Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms
IBM - Inadequate But Marketable

Who got more?

CREEP

Committe to RE-Elect the President.

The committee put together by Richard Nixon to manage his re-election campaign for the 1972 Presidential elections. I think they watched too much Man from UNCLE. I think it was these bright boys who thought up the Watergate scheme.

Thinking of car acronyms, how about these:
