Fun With Acronyms / Other

• Some page titles on this wiki:
  • Absurdly Spacious Sewer = ASS
  • Four Lines, All Waiting = FLAW
  • Hey, It's That Sound! = HITS
  • It Makes Sense in Context = IMSIC(k)
  • No On-Page Examples = NOPE
• One variety of Urban Legends is known as "Xeroxlore" (also known as "Photocopylore"), printed items such as joke sheets, fake "warnings to the community," etc., that are photocopied and then circulated around business offices, schools and churches. Xeroxlore has become more and more obsolete as Technology Marches On, but some of these items are still around. One particular brand of Xeroxlore is a spoof memo with the subject line "Special(ized) High Intensity Training." An example can be found here; there are many others.
• If someone calls you a "chicken" just because you refuse to do drugs, you could think of it as standing for "Cool, Honest, Intelligent, Clear headed, Keen, Energetic, and Not interested in Drugs". Realistically, it's unlikely that they'll conveniently pick the particular word you memorized a complimentary backronym for in advance, and far more likely that they won't have a problem with your refusal at all. But you still could!
• Keebler's popular E.L. Fudge cookies, sandwich cookies shaped like a Keebler Elf. That's E as in Everyone, L as in Loves, Fudge.
• In 1983, there was the Kinkeshi, a line of Japanese collectable toys, marketed as "M.U.S.C.L.E." (Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere) in the States.
• An Urban Legend has it that the word "nonce" as British slang for a child molester came from the phrase "Not On Normal Communal Exercise", referring to the fact that convicted pedophiles had to be segregated from the regular prison population lest they meet a Vigilante Execution (prisoners notoriously being ruthless towards those who hurt children the world over).
• The online marine biology database World Registry of Marine Species (WoRMS).
• Not exactly a name, but a password: In the German illustrated magazine "Der Spiegel" there was a satire about people making lame passwords because they couldn't remember a decently unguessable one (or use a password app). He then gave the well known advice to use the first letters of an easily remembered sentence (his example looking a bit contrived, Genre Savvy geeks at that point already knew the punchline). For increased security, one should add "a randomly chosen semi-celebrity", which happened to be the most carefully chosen regisseur Jim Sharman, and concatenate the birth date. Now, we have already a more contrived setup than the average Pervers Pépère strip and it's time to reveal the resulting punchline/acronym/password: Passwort12345.
• The word "worship", according to the Jakarta Praise Community Church, stands for "Wholehearted, Obedient, Relational, Spiritual, Honor, Intimate, and Proclamation".
• The Disney Theme Parks Disney California Adventure in Anaheim and Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris both feature a Marvel Cinematic Universe-themed land named the Avengers C.A.M.P.U.S., which is the Centralized Assembly Mobilized to Prepare, Unite, and Safeguard. (Hey, what do you expect from the franchise that includes S.H.I.E.L.D.?) The C.A.M.P.U.S.es also feature the ride W.E.B. Slingers (themed around Spider-Man, naturally), which is set in a group called the Worldwide Engineering Brigade.
• There's a popular legend that the F-word is an acronym for either For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge or Fornication Under Consent (or Command) of the King. There's not any evidence for either of these (the second one arguably doesn't even make sense, since fornication is illicit sex, so royally-approved fornication is an oxymoron), and the earliest recorded examples aren't even always spelled with both the C and the K.
• In this Nature article, Phil Williamson suggests making a rating site for websites that claim to be scientific and calls it Scientific Integrity and Honesty Tracker.
• There's a cocktail that's made out of a shot of gin, rum, two shots of evervlear, and a shot of apple scnapps. It's not, itself G.R.E.E.N., nor does "apple schnapps" start with an "N," but after you drink it, you won't care.
