wow, these are all terrific suggestions!
hadn't heard HIPPO or PICNIC before, but I'm totally adding them to my
lexicon.
And backronym is awesome in so many ways -- including the way Morgan used
it as a verb. Swt!

Hello,
Perhaps you could include: UXP (User Experience and/or User
Experience Platform) ...and bouncing off that: VXP (Visitor Experience)

Two of my faves:
PICNIC = problem in chair, not in computer
HiPPO = highest paid person's opinion

Ooh I love picnic and hippo! In the spirit of Simon's squirrel nutkin, we give
things the INATOR treatment. So when we fixed our locations section, we
called it the Locinator. And the research upgrade was the Researchinator.
We backronymed this to mean It's Now A Totally Operational Resource.

Okay, I couldn't resist this call-out.
Back in the day I had a brief foray at Eastman Kodak Company before their
ill-fated attempt to move to digital.
As the TWAIN API is probably still used in Museums for digital imaging, and
while arguable there is general consensus that intended or not,
And then there are the justa acronyms (apocryphal retronyms or real):
JAVA (once upon a time, wrongly rumored by some to stand for Just
Another Vague Acronym, but it's not an acronym at all*)
JBOD (real: Just a Bunch Of Disks: multiple drives not configured as a

These are great, you've brightened by day, sometimes MCN-L is TLDR.

Thanks, Rob! Yes, a wiki is a good idea... (and, in fact, although it's
not an acronym, wiki is on my list, too!)

sense), FADGI, AAT, ULAN, TGN, DAM, and CMS--with both meanings of
