initialism

a practically useless word created to distinguish initials from acronyms.

the word was crafted to ensure that those who do not subscribe to the concept are made to feel ridiculous when they have to ask "what is an initialism?"

Nate: New York was great, we went on a tour of the Yune and met the Secretary-General.

Trav: Nate, it's not called the Yune, it's called the U.N., it's an initialism for United Nations

Nate: Oh.... what the fuck is an initialism?

Trav: You're an idiot everyone knows an initialsm is when you say the letters - like U.N.

Nate: Isn't that basically an acronym?

Trav: No you tool. An acronym is when you make the initials of something into a new word, like NASA. They're two TOTALLY different things.

Sayran: Oh Trav - you're too smart for me!

Initialism

An acronym that you say each letter for as opposed to saying it as a word.

USA is an initialism, while NASA is an acronym.

initialization

(NOUN): When you start writing someone's initials -most commonly your soon-to-be (hopefully) significant other- all over your personal property, and sometimes on others' personal property. Also, can be posted on social networking sites on your status (myspace, facebook, etc.) and make its way into the margin of your tests, quizzes, notes, worksheets, etc.

"So, today I wrote your initials on the front of my science binder."

"Oh no! You've reached initialization!"

The Initials

When a chick gives a guy a RimJob (RJ), moves slightly and nibbles/licks giving the Gooch some Action (GA), and then moves slightly again to give the guy a BlowJob (BJ). These three thing together in that order are called giving someone "the initials."

My girlfriend came over last night and gave me the initials. First she licked my ass, then played with my gooch, and finally she gave me a blowjob.
