acronymity

The ability to make acronyms out of something.

Sometimes it is funny, other times it is just annoying

Dude did you catch the Lakers yesterday?

You mean the

Lost
Anonymously

A good example of bad acronymity.

vertical acronym

One of those cliché presentation aids that places the letters of the key word vertically and assigns a word or sentence to each letter.

Here is an example of a vertical acronym:

S-Size up the situation.
U-Undue haste makes waste.
R-Remember where you are.
V-Vanquish fear and panic.
I-Improvise (use your Imagination).
V-Value your life.
A-Act like the natives.
L-Live by your wits.

Acronym Chat (AC)

The use of acronyms in everyday conversation. Taken from the instant messaging chat speak way of communicating.

Teacher: "I'd like you to do your presentation first please"
Student: "N.T.Y."

This student is saying "No Thank You" using Acronym Chat (AC)

However 'lol' is usually said "lllolll" rather than L.O.L so would not classify as an AC.

acronomise

To make excessive usage of TLAs in written communication (especially IM and text message), in order to reduce the number of key strokes required to express oneself.

A contraction of "acronym" and "economise".

"I do acronomise heavily, but that's a function of my laziness, not wishing to type things like 'laugh out loud' in full all the time."

acronymious

Excessive and often malicious over-use of acronyms.

I don't mean to get acronymious, but OTOH, I'm SOL and AFU; you DNK and NDI. Enough TLA's already! GTG, BBFN (that's a FLA). ;)
