Are there any acronyms around that you just have a fondness for? For those who don't know what one is, it's a group of letters than represent a series of words, like:

COD: Call of Duty
LOL: Laught Out Loud
PC: Personal Computer

And so on...

But yes, back to the question. Are there any that you like, just because of their sound? I'd say one of mine would have to be COD (Call of Duty), because it sounds so ridiculously hilarious. But yours? Post and Enjoy!

Copper NanoTubes... not for the easily offended. The fact the acronym made it into a peer-reviewed journal is amazing.

If I remember right, FUCK originally used to be an acronym of sg. Can't remember what, though.
And damn, is it useful.

MGS: Metal Gear Solid.

I always thought it sounds like a disease.

"I'm sorry sir, but it appears you a bad case of MGS 4."

Also S.O.A.D: System of a Down.
I once heard someone say, "It spells soda!!"

This isn't a list of acronyms, it's a list of initialisms.

Acronyms are pronounced as words (NASA, laser, radio), while in initialisms that aren't acronyms, every letter is pronounced for itself (DVD, CD, LSD).

LOL and COD CAN be acronyms (depending on how you pronounce them). PC and MGS aren't acronyms.

I'm going to put this in a spoiler.

"THIS POST HAS ME HOLDING MY SIDES TOGETHER WITH MY HANDS WHILE ROCKING IN A BACK AND FORTH MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND HOWLING WITH DUBIOUS AMOUNTS OF LAUGHTER. SO MUCH SO, THAT I AM ROLLING ON THE FLOOR AT THIS MOMENT WHILE MY ASS SEEMS TO HAVE FALLEN OFF ON ITS OWN. COULD YOU GET THAT FOR ME?" which means "Truly, Honestly, I Say, Presentation Of Such Terrifically Humorous And Stupendously Merry Electronic Hilarity On Line Does Incite Notably Great Mirth, You See; I Dare Even Say The Overwhelming Giggling Energy This Has Elicited Really Will Imminently Topple Headfirst Me, Your Humble Author, Nearly Down Stairs Whooping Heartily In Laughter, Erstwhile Roused Off Chair Kneeslapping In Nickering Glee, I Need Add, But Actually Collapsing Kinetically Atop Nearby Dirty Floor Or Rug To Hold My Oscillating Tummy; Indeed, Outrageous Noises Of Nasal Tittering Here Exude From Lips Of One Reader As Nobody Dares Hear ? O What Laughter Is Nigh, Gods, What In The Hell Does Unearthly Be In Our Universe So As Makes Our Unworthy Names The Students Of Funny Literature As Uttered Gaily Here To Enlighten Readers. Some Others May, Unmoved, Claim Humor Seems Omitted; Those Half Addled Twits I'd Argue Madmen, Rubes, Or Lousy Liars ? I'm Not Guilty Of Naysaying This Hilarity, Extremely Funny, Like One Old Rabbi And Twenty Tall Hirsute Ichthyologists Slapping Ministers Of Military Espionage Nine Times With Haddock In Lichtenstein Every Monday, Yes, Always Slapping, Slapping, Slapping Early Every Monday, So Thoroughly, Oh Ho, And Verily Equally Funny As Loopy Llamas Emitting Nitrous Oxide, Funny, Funny, Oh Nuts, I'm Talking Scads Of Wacky Nonsense. Comedy Overwhelms Us; Laugh, Damn Ye, Or Undertake, Gentility Entreats Thee, To Have All The Fairness Of Reattaching My End?"

I fully admit to taking this from T.V tropes.
In fact you should all go onto T.V. tropes right now.

the best ine has to be from Red Dwarf in the Polymorph eisode:
Rimmer says: Erm, I think we're losing sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we gonna call ourselves? Erm, and I think it comes down to a choice between "The League Against Salivating Monsters" or my own personal preference, which is "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society." Erm, one drawback with that: the abbreviation is "CLITORIS."

PEBKAC - Problem exists between keyboard and chair, meaning the user is an eejit.

BYOB - Bring your own bottle, meaning I'm not buying your beer as I'm the host you skiv.

Totally unrelated to each other, but not always.
