Are there any acronyms that you or friends and family have made up and that you like to use?

Before Rachel Ray became popular, I had never heard the acronym “EVOO.” Now it’s very commonplace everywhere (extra virgin olive oil). When I was little, Kentucky Fried Chicken was Kentucky Fried Chicken, now it goes by the acronym “KFC” and acronyms are more popular, it seems.

Are there any acronyms that you’ve made up, or your friends and family have made up, and that you all use frequently?

I use one I made, “JPN” which stands for “Just plain nuts. I got that after seeing a Far Side cartoon where you’re looking over the therapist’s shoulder and see the patient lying on his couch. You can view the therapist’s pad, and he’s written in big, block letters “JUST PLAIN NUTS.” Sometimes when telling a story, I’ll refer to a crazy person as “JPN.” I usually have to explain what it stands for.
