[knumpify]

sitting here mindlessly zoning, my mind leaps to an acronym that sounds dirty... but really isn't. M.U.F.F. (the mountain united film festival).

there's got to be more, so of course, I think of you guys. keep it wierd, keep it real

In the anime Roujin Z (Dubbed, at the very least), a few characters are in a meeting and one man is presenting a presentation (Oddly enough). He talks at length about Japan's ageing population, using a variety of acronyms until just before the meeting is interrupted...

"...and then we can all get our Special Homes In The Sun, or shi-"

And that's when the meeting is interrupted.

ok... apparently people don't get the meaning of "real",

I'm looking for real life situations, if I wanted fictional examples, I would've added citizens united negating technology for life and people's safety

it might be scripted to be fun, and not all that real, but still, its a great clip making fun of the use of leet-speek for the people who dont know how it works:

'Copper Nanotubes', when it is pointed out that a similar anacronym for Carbon is 'CNT' and the chemical symbol for copper is Cu... (yes, this is actually real and appeared a comical number of times in a published paper...)

Yes yes, "keep it real". But some of these are more hilarious when they're found in comedy. Such as this gem from Red Dwarf:

"I call it 'The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisations and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Erm, one drawback with that - the abbreviation is 'CLITORIS'."

That one reminds me of the "Coilition for the Liberation of Itinerate Tree-Dwellers" or C.L.I.T. from Jay and Silent Bob Strike back...It's an off shoot of "Liberate Apes Before Imprisoning Apes" Movement...or L.A.B.I.A.

I read about this:

in the 1800s when the shipped cow turds to burn as fuel they kept igniting in the ships for a reason i don't remember right now, anyway on the barrels that had said cow droppings, to prevent anymore explosions, they marked the barrels:
Ship High In Transit or S.H.I.T.
