True acronym stories...
Several years ago a friend at the Cape turned in a drawing for some adapter cables to be used on one of the shuttle flights. The configuration management fellow called to find out what name to use for the cable group. Rick said "Call it a Flight Utility Cable Kit". The guy called back in 15 minutes to tell him he had to rename it.
We used to occasionally put unusual acronyms in our documents' acronym lists for fun and to see if anyone ever read them (I doubt anyone did). One of my favorites was FPF Furlongs Per Fortnight.
