acronymage 

A primitive game (reputedly invented by Abigail and Aron) involving the creation of humorous or intellectual phrases from an everyday word - thus turning the original word into an acronym (hence acronymage).
For example, in a game of acronymage-
RAPE can become:
-reaching arm, playing elephant
-racist albino punishes ethnic
-raw artichoke promotes euthinasia
