That'll do.  Your coinage made me pause to work out what it would have 
meant, and I reckon to have as good a vocabulary as most people (and better 
than most) which is why I posted.

But it did bring back memories of quite a few years ago when my Trade Union 
was considering changing its name, and our revue at the annual conference 
contained a song whose chorus ended "So let's lift our voices in a hymn, to 
our anachronistic, palindromic acronym"
