WSBA 

Acronym for the "Washington State Bar Association." Also, "Won't Stop Bad Attorneys." Colloquialism. Pronounced Wauzbuh. Stems from blatant abuses to legal consumers which are seemingly condoned or ignored by the WSBA and Supreme Court. Despite voluminous complaints and damages, the WSBA historically does too little, too slowly, to protect Washingtonians from unscrupulous attorneys who violate the rules of professional conduct.

Gosh Fred, sure sorry to hear about how your attorney took your family's money without doing the work. It's just another example of WSBA.

CYA 

Cover your arse. Extraordinary precautions that are necessary in an overly litigious society.

Make sure you document everything just to CYA. Those attorneys are ruthless.
