  • What's in a 'nym?

    Just a tip. If the name of your organization is Christ United Methodist Church, do NOT use your acronym on your correspondence.

      One reason of many why I hate acronyms with a burning passion. They can be anything ... even evil. Even Variables Induce Lunacy.

      Me: "Yes. Your planet is very backwards I hope you realize."

        Abbreviations can do that too. The public library in North Reading, Massachusetts used to abbreviate "North" to "No." on the stamps they used on books.

              "Cum See" was my first guess.

                I'm sorry but did they really have "No. Reading" on each of the books?

                  That was my interpretation too. But cum church works too. LOL!!

                  I think I'll wait for the 2nd cumming though.

                    Nice title.

                    I've seen a few choice abbreviations and acronyms in my job, but I'll be damned if I can remember any of the good ones right now.

                      When I was in High School, the National Honor Society took us to the Museum of Fine Art in Houston. They gave us nice little buttons which we wore to lunch afterward. Finally, after lots of stares and whispers, some brave soul came up to the teacher and asked why our entire group had buttons with a large red "M F A H" on them.

                        Rumor has it that before the South Lake Union Line in Seattle was called that, it was going to be called the South Lake Union Trolley.

                        People made a good buck off of selling "Ride the SLUT!" T-Shirts!

                          You wouldn't like my country then. We use acronyms for everything.

                            My definition of an expert is: "Someone who knows what all the letters stand for."

                            The Launch Umbilical Tower (LUT) for the moon rockets at Cape Kennedy was original called the Service Launch Umbilical Tower (SLUT).

                              There is a commerical on tv for a techincal school called UTI. Everytime i hear it i laugh because i would never want to go some where that is named after a urinary tract infection.

                              By the way the school is call Universal Techincal Institute.
