p.1 #8 · Acronyms?

Here's the site I use. They've G rated some of the more colorful phrases, like RTFM, but it's pretty easy to translate them into adultspeak.

It is NOT an acronym unless it spells a pronounceable word.

1. IBM - NOT an acronym. This is an initialization.
2. YASP - Is an acronym.

Acronyms that have become words:
Laser
Scuba
Radar
Snafu

You're welcome!
