Saw a new one  today, regarding an order I had in that was coming via Munchkinland.

JIFFY: Just In, Finally Fixed Yesterday. (I'll believe it when the package hits my porch.)

Goldies:

Heinlein's TANSTAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

Military:

FUBAR: Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition.

SNAFU: Situation Normal All Fucked Up.

OOETBE: Out Of Everything But Enemy. (Leonidas should get credit for that one?)

KIA-BNR: Killed In Action; Body Not Recovered. My mother had two of those framed and hanging in her livingroom when I arrived back in the States. (I called her from the PI to tell her I was heading east.) I'm MUCH harder to kill than that, just ask my lunatic father.

Picking a nit: a lot of the above are not acronyms, but ‘initialisms’, which are a set of letters that don’t form a pronounceable word.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
