acronymize

1. To make words into acronyms that don't stand for anything with the sole purpose of emphasizing the word! Especially as wall posts or status updates on social networking sites.

2. A step above ALL CAPS and exclamation marks!!!!
BOB post: "This S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y! This party is F.I.E.R.C.E.!"

BJ comment: "What does S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. stand for?"

BOB comment: Nothing it's just S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. because I.T. I.S. F.I.E.R.C.E.!!!

acronymize

v The process of reducing as many words as possible to a series of acronyms. This practice is often found in organizations where groupthink is rampant and human interpersonal skills are undeveloped.
Instead of saying "We're going out for lunch. Will you be at the afternoon staff meeting," you could acronymize and say "We're going OFL. Will you be at the ASM?"

Extreme version: WGOFL. WYBATASM?

Unfortunate Acronym

An unfortunate Acronym is an acronym for an organisation or person that results in a word that is rude, disgusting or totally inappropriate. A typical example would be the Country and Urban Nature Trail Society which was intended to promote pleasant nature walks in both the town and countryside. It never got off the ground because the acronym was CUNTS. Another British example is Radical Alternatives to Prison, a bunch of bleeding hearts who want to abolish prisons. They were originally going to be called Completely Radical Alternatives to Prison – CRAP, but decided against this, perhaps it was too close to the truth about their ideas.
One unfortunate acronym which is still currently used is TWAT which stands for The War Against Terrorism, while from the United States comes FLOTUS which identifies the President’s wife and stands for First Lady Of The United States. It’s an unfortunate acronym in that it sounds as if it is something unpleasant lurking in a toilet bowl. I suppose they could try removing some of the unimportant letters, but FLOUS and FLUS don’t sound much better.
“Is it true that Nicola Sturgeon, leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party, is going to set up a new organisation, Scottish Nationalists Opposed to Tories?”
“SNOT! There’s an unfortunate acronym!”

Reverse Acronym

Acronyms are abbreviations that are formed using the initial components in a phrase or name. A Reverse Acronym is when the initial word is broken into an acronym for humorous purposes.
Reverse Acronyms:
Fuck = For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.
Fart = Frequently Activated Rectal Tremble.
Etc., etc.
