An example of an anticronym is when speaking about an “ATM machine” - the word “machine” repeats what the “M” in “ATM” stands for. It’s like saying “Automatic Teller Machine Machine”. Another example would be “PIN number” where the word “number” repeats the meaning of the letter “N”

Get the anticronym mug.Anticonsultite (an’-ti-con-sul’-tite): noun – one with a keen distrust of consultants – resulting in teeth grinding anger at least once per week. Typically spends an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to bow out of contracts but knowing that the cost and expense to do so would yield no positive results and that the consultant has the power to actually make things worse in the system if they have tendencies for vengeance – thus leaving the anticonsultite feeling like a hostage.
Recent projects in the company and general shadiness of consultants have positioned me as a firm anticonsultite.
