Obfuscation by initialism

To cloud, confuse, or mislead by extensive use of initialisms (abbreviations using initial letters pronounced separately).
Jim's statement was ridiculous, all he did was practice obfuscation by initialism. "FYI, tell the CEO we will achieve incredible growth with our OEM by defining the SOP in SAP ECC and using sCRM."

Initialization Vectors

In cryptography, an initialization vector (IV) is a block of bits that is required to allow a stream cipher or a block cipher to be executed in any of several streaming modes of operation to produce a unique stream independent from other streams produced by the same encryption key, without having to go through a (usually lengthy) re-keying process.

IV's are commonly referred to in wireless network hacking, more specifically WEP hacking, where a hacker fakes association with a wireless access point and generates IV's that are used to crack the WEP key of the network.
I only needed 40000 Initialization Vectors to crack the WEP key of my neighbor's wireless.

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!"

Initialiality

The act of taking charge and having the instinct to come first no matter what, even if you loose. The inability to accept that you've lost and having a superior attitude about it.

Anna: Why do you always think that you'll come first?
Jason: I have trained myself to come first no matter what.
Sam: But you just lost the match.
Jason: But I had the initialiality to come first.
Anna: What the fuck does that even mean?
Sam: He thinks he came first but in reality he lost miserably, fucking idiot.
