Bacronym

An example of a Neologism and an alternative spelling of the word backronym, a term was probably invented by Alan Chapman a business consultant based in Leicester England. Both spellings are used on his website (Businessballs), but bacronym might just be linguistically purer than backronym (being closer in appearance to acronym).

When used as an acronym fine is actually a bacronym.

2. The definition "Get Rid Of Slimy girlS" is a backronym set up specifically so we could call our club "G.R.O.S.S"

backronym

a reversed acronym. The word "backronym" was coined in 1983 by KRS-ONE, who created his rap name and then made a backronym for it, making the letters stand for something.

KRS-ONE making his name to stand for "Knowledge Reigns Supreme - Over Nearly Everyone" is an example of a backronym.
