Acronumb

Acronumb: (adj.) to be thoroughly put off of a conversation due to its acronym content. The state of being so bored by a conversation that you could not understand, even with a dictionary and a geek translator.
(v) to be put off of a conversation inundated with the use of highly technical acronyms and jargon.
Dude, I was standing in line and these two Computer Science guys started talking...within three minutes, I was acronumbed.

Oh man, I was reading this military website, and I had to wrap my head around how they acronymize everything...by the end of the first page, I was acronumb. Too much acronymonics is just not a good thing if you are trying to entice kids to join the armed forces, they might develop acronymphobia.

I am always amazed at the way that your socially awkward cousin manages to be so damn acronymious, even at a party! I mean, a girl even tried to talk to him and he made her acronumb! What a geek!

Will you stop being so damn acronymatic? There are cool people here, and you are going to make them acronumb.

acronym

An abbreviation for a phrase created by taking the first letter or so of each word, AND is pronounced as a word itself.
"USA" is technically NOT an acronym, because people don't pronounce it as "You-Sah". However, "MADD" (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is an acronym because it's pronounced exactly as it's spelled.
