when i was younger, i was in the Army.... nobody loves acronyms as much as they do..... many of them end up in general usage , such as FUBAR, SNAFU (snafu mostly, but you do hear fubar occasionally... especially in linux tutorials, where it is used in the form of "foo.bar") .... some of them, like RADAR actually become words in common usage. the electronics industry supplies it's fair share of acronyms to common language, such as LED (which still gets pronounced as "ell-ee-dee") and not to be confused with Led Zeppelin (which actually was a spinoff of the term "lead balloon")....... just having some fun here.... i was wondering if anybody else had come across any other interesting (and humorous) ones?
the PEN and PAPER one came from a relative that worked as a tech writer for Honeywell. he actually produced an april fools data sheet for PEN and PAPER as a storage device.
