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.

Acronymous Slang

The shortening of common sayings by using the first letter of each word, and then presenting the letters in its abbreviated form. It is frequently used in the emails, the text messages, and/or references to the rockin' bands.

I can't wait to listen to the BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive). The TCB (Takin' Care of Business) is one of my favorite songs of all the time. If you disagree, I will LOL, my friend. DYCTDOM? (Do you catch this drift of mine?) If not, my use of the acronymous slang might be confusing you. In that case, MAMF (My apologies, my fried).
